3,5-Difluorobenzyl alcohol

Description:
3,5-Difluorobenzyl alcohol is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzyl alcohol structure with two fluorine atoms substituted at the 3 and 5 positions of the benzene ring. Its molecular formula is C7H6F2O, indicating that it contains seven carbon atoms, six hydrogen atoms, two fluorine atoms, and one oxygen atom. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its moderate polarity due to the hydroxyl (-OH) group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. The presence of fluorine atoms enhances its chemical stability and can influence its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses and applications. 3,5-Difluorobenzyl alcohol may also exhibit unique properties such as altered solubility and boiling points compared to its non-fluorinated counterparts. It is important to handle this compound with care, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled, and appropriate safety measures should be taken during its use in laboratory or industrial settings.
