2-Fluorobutanoic acid

Description:
2-Fluorobutanoic acid is a fluorinated carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a fluorine atom at the second carbon of the butanoic acid chain. Its molecular formula is C4H7FO2, and it features a four-carbon backbone with a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) at one end. This compound is typically a colorless liquid or solid, depending on the temperature, and has a distinctive odor. The presence of the fluorine atom influences its chemical properties, including increased acidity compared to non-fluorinated analogs, and can enhance its reactivity in various chemical reactions. 2-Fluorobutanoic acid is soluble in polar solvents, such as water and alcohols, due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds. It is used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
