Benzoic acid, 4-fluoro-3-hydroxy-, 1,1-dimethylethyl ester

Description:

Benzoic acid, 4-fluoro-3-hydroxy-, 1,1-dimethylethyl ester, identified by the CAS number 847943-90-2, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from benzoic acid. This compound features a benzoic acid backbone with a hydroxy group and a fluoro substituent at specific positions on the aromatic ring, which can influence its chemical reactivity and physical properties. The presence of the tert-butyl group (1,1-dimethylethyl) enhances its lipophilicity, potentially affecting its solubility in organic solvents. The fluorine atom can impart unique electronic properties, making the compound of interest in various chemical applications, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. In terms of stability, esters generally exhibit moderate stability under standard conditions but can hydrolyze in the presence of strong acids or bases. The compound's specific reactivity, boiling point, melting point, and other physical properties would depend on its molecular structure and the interactions of its functional groups. Overall, this compound represents a class of substituted benzoic acids with potential utility in synthetic chemistry.
