Benzene, [(1-fluoroethenyl)sulfinyl]-

Description:

Benzene, [(1-fluoroethenyl)sulfinyl]- (CAS 515863-85-1) is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzene ring substituted with a sulfinyl group and a vinyl fluoride moiety. The sulfinyl group introduces a sulfur atom bonded to an oxygen atom, which contributes to the compound's reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. The vinyl fluoride component indicates the presence of a double bond between carbon atoms, with one of the carbons also bonded to a fluorine atom, enhancing the compound's electrophilic character. This structure suggests potential uses in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and coupling reactions. The presence of both the aromatic benzene ring and the functional groups may impart unique physical properties, such as solubility in organic solvents and specific reactivity patterns. As with many organofluorine compounds, it may exhibit distinct biological activity and environmental behavior, warranting careful handling and study in both laboratory and industrial contexts.
