CAS 699-90-1

3-Fluoro-2-methylbenzoic acid

Description:

3-Fluoro-2-methylbenzoic acid, with the CAS number 699-90-1, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a fluorine atom and a methyl group on a benzoic acid structure. This compound features a fluorine substituent at the meta position relative to the carboxylic acid group and a methyl group at the ortho position. It typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, with limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of the fluorine atom can influence its reactivity and polarity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses and applications, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The compound may exhibit moderate acidity due to the carboxylic acid functional group, and its derivatives can be synthesized through various methods, including electrophilic aromatic substitution. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with all chemical substances, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
