3-Fluoro-4-methylbenzoyl chloride

Description:
3-Fluoro-4-methylbenzoyl chloride, with the CAS number 59189-97-8, is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of a benzoyl chloride functional group and a fluorine atom at the meta position relative to the methyl group on the benzene ring. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on temperature and purity. It is known for its reactivity, particularly due to the presence of the acyl chloride functional group, which can readily participate in nucleophilic acyl substitution reactions. The fluorine atom can influence the electronic properties of the molecule, potentially enhancing its reactivity and affecting its physical properties, such as boiling point and solubility. 3-Fluoro-4-methylbenzoyl chloride is often utilized in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, where it serves as an important intermediate. As with many acyl chlorides, it is important to handle this compound with care due to its corrosive nature and potential to release hydrochloric acid upon reaction with water or moisture.
