Ethyl 5-fluoro-2-methylbenzoate

Description:
Ethyl 5-fluoro-2-methylbenzoate is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, which is derived from benzoic acid. It features a fluoro substituent at the 5-position and a methyl group at the 2-position of the benzene ring, contributing to its unique chemical properties. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor. It is moderately soluble in organic solvents and exhibits low solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. Ethyl 5-fluoro-2-methylbenzoate is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Its reactivity can be influenced by the presence of the fluorine atom, which can affect the compound's electronic properties and steric hindrance. Safety data indicates that, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, using appropriate safety measures to avoid inhalation or skin contact.
