CAS 704-83-6

4-Fluoro-α-propylbenzenemethanol

Description:

4-Fluoro-α-propylbenzenemethanol, with the CAS number 704-83-6, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a fluorine atom and a propyl group attached to a benzene ring. This compound features a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) that contributes to its classification as an alcohol. The fluorine substituent typically influences the compound's reactivity and polarity, potentially enhancing its solubility in polar solvents. The propyl group adds to the hydrophobic character of the molecule, which can affect its interactions with biological systems and other chemical entities. The presence of both hydrophilic (hydroxymethyl) and hydrophobic (propyl) groups suggests that this compound may exhibit interesting properties in terms of solubility and reactivity. Additionally, the specific arrangement of substituents on the benzene ring can lead to unique chemical behavior, making it of interest in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and materials science. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with any chemical substance.
