CAS 455-68-5

Benzoic acid, 3-fluoro-, methyl ester

Description:

Benzoic acid, 3-fluoro-, methyl ester, also known by its CAS number 455-68-5, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzoic acid structure with a fluorine atom substituted at the meta position and a methyl ester functional group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is known for its aromatic properties due to the benzene ring, which contributes to its stability and reactivity. The presence of the fluorine atom can influence its chemical behavior, often enhancing its lipophilicity and altering its reactivity compared to non-fluorinated analogs. Benzoic acid derivatives, including this methyl ester, are commonly used in various applications, including as preservatives, flavoring agents, and in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals. Its solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water are typical for such esters, making it useful in organic synthesis and chemical research. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with all chemical substances.
