Description:3,5-Difluorobenzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of two fluorine atoms located at the 3 and 5 positions on the benzene ring relative to the carboxylic acid group. Its molecular formula is C7H4F2O2, and it features a benzoic acid structure, which contributes to its acidic properties. The presence of fluorine atoms enhances its reactivity and polarity, making it useful in various chemical applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis and in the development of pharmaceuticals. 3,5-Difluorobenzoic acid is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols. Its melting and boiling points are influenced by the fluorine substituents, which can affect intermolecular interactions. Additionally, this compound can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and coupling reactions, making it valuable in synthetic organic chemistry. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as with many fluorinated organic substances.
