1,1-Difluoro-4-methylcyclohexane

Description:

1,1-Difluoro-4-methylcyclohexane is a fluorinated organic compound characterized by the presence of two fluorine atoms and a methyl group attached to a cyclohexane ring. The molecular structure features a cyclohexane backbone, which is a saturated six-membered carbon ring, with the fluorine substituents located at the first carbon position and the methyl group at the fourth carbon position. This compound is typically colorless and may exhibit a distinct odor. Its physical properties include a relatively low boiling point and moderate solubility in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The presence of fluorine atoms can impart unique chemical reactivity and stability, making it of interest in various applications, including in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, the compound's fluorinated nature may influence its interactions with biological systems and its environmental behavior, necessitating careful handling and assessment of its safety profile.
