(5-bromo-2,4-difluorophenyl)methanol; CAS No.: 850213-59-1; (5-bromo-2,4-difluorophenyl)methanol. PROPERTIES: This bromo-difluoro-substituted phenylmethanol features molecular formula C?H?BrF?O with molecular weight 217.01 g/mol. It generally appears as a white crystalline powder. Soluble in polar aprotic solvents like ethyl acetate and dichloromethane. Melting point approximately 100-105 C. Exhibits IR absorption for hydroxyl groups (~3300 cm??) and C-Br/C-F groups (~600-500 cm?? and ~1300-1100 cm??). Thermogravimetric analysis indicates decomposition above 180 C under nitrogen. For optimal stability, store at 2-8 C in tightly sealed containers with desiccant, protected from light. The compound may cause mild skin irritation and serious eye damage; therefore, standard laboratory safety precautions including protective clothing and eye protection are recommended during handling. APPLICATIONS: As a bromo-difluoro-substituted phenylmethanol, (5-bromo-2,4-difluorophenyl)methanol is predominantly utilized in the synthesis of agrochemicals. It serves as a key intermediate in constructing pyrazole-based herbicides, where the bromo and fluoro groups provide valuable binding affinity for plant enzymes as demonstrated in pesticide chemistry research (Pest Management Science). Additionally, the compound participates in the development of fluorescent probes for bioimaging applications, where its hydroxyl functionality enables conjugation to biomolecules via oxime formation (Bioconjugate Chemistry). In materials science, it functions as a monomer for preparing polyurethane foams with enhanced thermal stability, where the bromo and fluoro substituents contribute to improved flame retardancy and mechanical properties (Polymer International).
