Phenol,2-(3-butyn-1-yl)-4-fluoro-

Description:

Phenol, 2-(3-butyn-1-yl)-4-fluoro-, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a phenolic hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a substituted aromatic ring. The compound features a butynyl group, which is a linear alkyne with a triple bond, contributing to its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. The presence of a fluorine atom at the para position relative to the hydroxyl group enhances the compound's electrophilic properties and may influence its biological activity. This compound is likely to exhibit moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water due to the hydrophobic nature of the butynyl chain. Additionally, the presence of both the alkyne and the fluorine substituent may impart unique chemical properties, making it of interest in various fields, including medicinal chemistry and materials science. Safety considerations should be taken into account, as phenolic compounds can be toxic and irritant, necessitating proper handling and storage protocols.
