3-Pyridinol,2,4,5,6-tetrafluoro-

Description:

3-Pyridinol, 2,4,5,6-tetrafluoro- is a fluorinated derivative of pyridine, characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group (-OH) and four fluorine atoms substituted at the 2, 4, 5, and 6 positions of the pyridine ring. This compound typically exhibits properties associated with both pyridine and fluorinated compounds, such as increased polarity and potential for hydrogen bonding due to the hydroxyl group. The presence of multiple fluorine atoms enhances its chemical stability and may influence its reactivity, making it less susceptible to oxidation compared to non-fluorinated analogs. Additionally, the fluorine substituents can significantly alter the compound's physical properties, such as boiling and melting points, as well as its solubility in various solvents. 3-Pyridinol, 2,4,5,6-tetrafluoro- may find applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or as an intermediate in organic synthesis, owing to its unique structural features and reactivity profile. Safety and handling precautions should be observed, as with all chemical substances, particularly those containing fluorine.
