4-Fluoro-3-hydroxybenzenemethanol

Description:

4-Fluoro-3-hydroxybenzenemethanol, also known by its IUPAC name, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a fluorine atom, a hydroxyl group, and a benzene ring. The molecular structure features a phenolic hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a benzene ring that also bears a fluorine substituent at the para position relative to the hydroxyl group. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in polar solvents due to the presence of the hydroxyl group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. The fluorine atom can influence the compound's reactivity and polarity, potentially enhancing its biological activity or altering its interaction with other chemical species. 4-Fluoro-3-hydroxybenzenemethanol may be of interest in various fields, including medicinal chemistry and materials science, due to its potential applications in drug development and as a building block for more complex organic molecules. Safety data and handling precautions should be consulted, as with any chemical substance.
