3-Fluoro-5-methylbenzenemethanol

Description:
3-Fluoro-5-methylbenzenemethanol, with the CAS number 518070-20-7, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a fluorine atom and a hydroxymethyl group attached to a substituted benzene ring. The structure features a methyl group at the 5-position and a fluorine atom at the 3-position of the benzene ring, which influences its chemical reactivity and physical properties. This compound is likely to exhibit moderate polarity due to the hydroxymethyl group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding, enhancing its solubility in polar solvents. The presence of the fluorine atom can also impart unique electronic properties, potentially affecting its reactivity in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Additionally, the compound may have applications in pharmaceuticals or as an intermediate in organic synthesis, given the functional groups present. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
