:

(3-Chloro-5-fluorophenyl)methanol

Description:
(3-Chloro-5-fluorophenyl)methanol, with the CAS number 799-34-8, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a phenolic structure substituted with both chlorine and fluorine atoms. This compound features a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) attached to a phenyl ring, which enhances its reactivity and solubility in polar solvents. The chlorine atom is located at the meta position (3-position) and the fluorine atom at the para position (5-position) relative to the hydroxymethyl group, influencing the compound's electronic properties and steric effects. As a result, (3-Chloro-5-fluorophenyl)methanol may exhibit interesting biological activities and can serve as a potential intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Its physical properties, such as melting point, boiling point, and solubility, are influenced by the presence of the halogen substituents and the hydroxymethyl group, making it a compound of interest in both synthetic and medicinal chemistry. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as halogenated compounds can pose health and environmental risks.
