Description:2,3,5,6-Tetrafluorophenol is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of a phenolic hydroxyl group (-OH) and four fluorine atoms substituted on the benzene ring. Its molecular formula is C6H2F4O, indicating a relatively low molecular weight. The fluorine substituents significantly influence the compound's physical and chemical properties, enhancing its acidity compared to non-fluorinated phenols due to the electron-withdrawing nature of fluorine. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on temperature and purity. It exhibits high thermal stability and is soluble in polar organic solvents. 2,3,5,6-Tetrafluorophenol is used in various applications, including as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fluorinated compounds. Due to the presence of fluorine, it may also exhibit unique reactivity patterns in chemical reactions, making it a valuable compound in organic synthesis. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
