4-Fluoro-3-methylbenzoic acid

Description:

4-Fluoro-3-methylbenzoic acid, with the CAS number 403-15-6, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a fluorine atom and a methyl group on a benzoic acid structure. This compound features a fluorine substituent at the para position and a methyl group at the meta position relative to the carboxylic acid functional group. It is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of the fluorine atom can influence its reactivity and polarity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses and applications, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, 4-Fluoro-3-methylbenzoic acid can participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and nucleophilic substitution, due to its functional groups. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
