2-(5-fluoro-2-methylphenyl)acetic acid; CAS No.: 261951-75-1; 2-(5-fluoro-2-methylphenyl)acetic acid. PROPERTIES: This fluoro-methyl-substituted phenylacetic acid has molecular formula C?H?FO? with molecular weight 176.17 g/mol. Appears as a crystalline solid. Soluble in polar protic solvents like methanol and water. Melting point approximately 85-90 C. Exhibits IR absorption for carboxylic acid group. Thermogravimetric analysis shows decomposition above 180 C under nitrogen. Store at 2-8 C in sealed containers. May cause skin irritation and eye damage. APPLICATIONS: As a fluorinated carboxylic acid, 2-(5-fluoro-2-methylphenyl)acetic acid is used in NSAID synthesis. The carboxylic acid group forms the pharmacophore. Also used in fluorescent probe synthesis, enabling conjugation via amide bond formation. In materials science, it enhances thermal stability in polyaryl acid polymers due to fluorine substituents.
