2-(Difluoromethyl)benzoic acid

Description:
2-(Difluoromethyl)benzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a benzoic acid moiety with a difluoromethyl group attached to the second carbon of the benzene ring. This compound typically exhibits a white to off-white crystalline appearance and is soluble in organic solvents, while its solubility in water may be limited due to the hydrophobic nature of the aromatic ring. The difluoromethyl group introduces unique electronic and steric properties, which can influence the compound's reactivity and interactions in chemical reactions. As a benzoic acid derivative, it can participate in typical acid-base reactions, forming salts and esters. The presence of fluorine atoms often enhances the compound's stability and lipophilicity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical and agrochemical applications. Additionally, the compound may exhibit specific biological activities, which can be explored in medicinal chemistry. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
