Cyclohexanone,2-acetyl-2-fluoro-

Description:

Cyclohexanone, 2-acetyl-2-fluoro- is an organic compound characterized by its cyclic structure and functional groups. It features a cyclohexanone ring, which is a six-membered carbon ring containing a ketone functional group, and an acetyl group attached to the second carbon, along with a fluorine atom also at the second position. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, similar to that of other ketones. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate polarity due to the presence of the carbonyl and acetyl groups. The fluorine substituent can influence the compound's reactivity and physical properties, such as boiling point and stability. Cyclohexanone derivatives are often used in organic synthesis and may serve as intermediates in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. Safety considerations should be taken into account, as with many organic solvents, due to potential health hazards associated with inhalation or skin contact.
