CAS 665-31-6

2,2-Difluorobutanedioic acid

Description:

2,2-Difluorobutanedioic acid, with the CAS number 665-31-6, is a fluorinated organic compound characterized by the presence of two fluorine atoms attached to the second carbon of a butanedioic acid (succinic acid) backbone. This compound typically appears as a white crystalline solid and is soluble in polar solvents due to its carboxylic acid functional groups. The presence of fluorine atoms can significantly influence its chemical reactivity and physical properties, such as increasing its acidity compared to non-fluorinated analogs. 2,2-Difluorobutanedioic acid may be utilized in various applications, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, where fluorinated compounds often exhibit enhanced biological activity or stability. Its unique structure allows for potential interactions in biochemical pathways, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. However, handling and usage should be approached with caution due to the potential toxicity associated with fluorinated compounds. As with all chemicals, proper safety protocols should be followed when working with this substance.
