2-fluoro-1,3-dimethyl-5-nitrobenzene; CAS No.: 1736-85-2;2-fluoro-1,3-dimethyl-5-nitrobenzene. PROPERTIES: 2-fluoro-1,3-dimethyl-5-nitrobenzene is a fluorinated, methylated, and nitrated aromatic compound with molecular formula C8H9FNO2. It typically exists as a colorless liquid with a boiling point around 130-135 C. The compound has limited water solubility but dissolves well in organic solvents like chloroform or carbon tetrachloride. It exhibits moderate thermal stability but may decompose when exposed to high temperatures or strong acids, releasing toxic nitrogen oxides. Proper storage involves keeping it in tightly sealed containers below 25 C, protected from light and moisture. APPLICATIONS: In organic synthesis, this compound serves as a versatile building block for creating complex aromatic systems. The fluoro substituent provides electron-withdrawing effects, while the methyl groups offer steric protection and the nitro group provides sites for reduction to form amines (Tetrahedron Letters). In pharmaceutical development, 2-fluoro-1,3-dimethyl-5-nitrobenzene contributes to the synthesis of antimicrobial agents where the halogenated aromatic scaffold enhances binding to microbial targets (Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy). The compound also finds application in materials science as a building block for organic electronics, where its electron-deficient aromatic core modulates the electronic properties of derived materials (Journal of Materials Chemistry C).
