2-(difluoromethoxy)benzyl alcohol

Description:

2-(Difluoromethoxy)benzyl alcohol is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzyl alcohol moiety substituted with a difluoromethoxy group. The molecular structure features a benzene ring attached to a -CH2OH (benzyl alcohol) group, with a -O-CH2F2 (difluoromethoxy) substituent at the ortho position relative to the hydroxyl group. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It exhibits polar characteristics due to the hydroxyl group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding, influencing its solubility in polar solvents like water and alcohols. The difluoromethoxy group introduces unique electronic and steric properties, potentially affecting the compound's reactivity and interactions in chemical reactions. Additionally, the presence of fluorine atoms can enhance lipophilicity and alter the compound's biological activity. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
