Benzoic acid, 2-fluoro-, methyl ester

Description:

Benzoic acid, 2-fluoro-, methyl ester, also known as methyl 2-fluorobenzoate, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzoate group with a fluorine atom positioned at the ortho position relative to the ester functional group. It has a molecular formula that reflects its structure, comprising a benzene ring, a carboxylate group, and a methyl group. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is known for its aromatic properties and is often used in organic synthesis as an intermediate or reagent. The presence of the fluorine atom can influence its reactivity and polarity, making it useful in various chemical applications, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, it may exhibit specific solubility characteristics in organic solvents, which can be advantageous in extraction and purification processes. Safety data indicates that, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.

2-Fluorobenzoic acid methyl ester

CAS: 394-35-4

2-Fluorobenzoic acid methyl ester is a chemical compound that belongs to the group of borohydride reduction. It is a colorless liquid that can be used as a solvent for chemical reactions. 2-Fluorobenzoic acid methyl ester is used in synthetic methods, such as the reduction of benzoate to benzyl alcohol. The borohydride reduction produces a mixture of regioisomers, which can be separated by fractional distillation. 2-Fluorobenzoic acid methyl ester is also used in the synthesis of hydrogen peroxide, which is produced by the reaction of sodium borohydride with hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide can then react with 2-fluoro benzoic acid methyl ester to produce 2-fluoro benzaldehyde and water.
