3,4-difluorobenzyl alcohol

Description:
3,4-Difluorobenzyl alcohol is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzyl alcohol structure with two fluorine substituents located at the 3 and 4 positions on the aromatic ring. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its moderate solubility in water, which is influenced by the hydroxyl (-OH) group that can engage in hydrogen bonding. The fluorine atoms contribute to the compound's unique chemical properties, such as increased lipophilicity and altered reactivity compared to non-fluorinated analogs. 3,4-Difluorobenzyl alcohol can be utilized in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis and in the development of pharmaceuticals. Its reactivity allows for further functionalization, making it a valuable building block in chemical research. Safety data indicates that, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, using appropriate safety measures to avoid exposure.
