3-Fluorobenzyl alcohol

Description:
3-Fluorobenzyl alcohol, with the CAS number 456-47-3, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a fluorine atom and a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a benzyl group. It features a benzene ring substituted with a fluorine atom at the meta position relative to the benzyl alcohol functional group. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the polar hydroxyl group. The presence of the fluorine atom can influence its chemical reactivity and physical properties, such as boiling point and polarity. 3-Fluorobenzyl alcohol is often used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. Safety considerations include handling it with care, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from incompatible substances is recommended to maintain its stability.
