:3-Fluoro-2-hydroxybenzenemethanol
Description:
3-Fluoro-2-hydroxybenzenemethanol, also known as 3-fluoro-2-(hydroxymethyl)phenol, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a fluorine atom, a hydroxyl group (-OH), and a benzene ring with a methanol side chain. Its molecular structure features a fluorine substituent at the meta position relative to the hydroxymethyl group on the benzene ring, which influences its chemical reactivity and physical properties. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in polar solvents due to the hydroxyl group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. The presence of the fluorine atom can enhance the compound's lipophilicity and alter its biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry and materials science. Additionally, 3-fluoro-2-hydroxybenzenemethanol may exhibit various functional properties, including potential antimicrobial or antioxidant activities, depending on its specific interactions within biological systems. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with any chemical substance.
