4-Fluoromandelic acid

Description:

4-Fluoromandelic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a fluorine atom at the para position relative to the hydroxymethyl group on the benzene ring. Its molecular formula is C9H9FO3, and it features a chiral center, making it optically active. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, owing to its carboxylic acid functional group. 4-Fluoromandelic acid is of interest in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical applications, particularly as a building block in the synthesis of various biologically active compounds. Its fluorine substitution can influence the compound's reactivity and biological properties, making it a valuable subject of study in medicinal chemistry. Additionally, it can undergo typical reactions associated with carboxylic acids, such as esterification and amidation, further expanding its utility in chemical synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
