CAS 446-51-5

2-Fluorobenzyl alcohol

Description:

2-Fluorobenzyl alcohol, with the CAS number 446-51-5, is an organic compound characterized by a benzyl alcohol structure where a fluorine atom is substituted at the second position of the benzene ring. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to the hydrophobic nature of the benzene ring. The presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) group contributes to its reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as oxidation and esterification. 2-Fluorobenzyl alcohol is of interest in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical applications, where it may serve as an intermediate in the production of more complex molecules. Additionally, its fluorine substitution can influence the compound's biological activity and physical properties, making it a valuable compound in medicinal chemistry and materials science. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
