35Difluoroaniline

3,5-Difluoroaniline is an organic compound with the chemical formula C6H5F2N. It is a derivative of aniline, where two fluorine atoms are substituted at the meta positions (3 and 5) on the benzene ring. This compound appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature.

The presence of the two highly electronegative fluorine atoms significantly influences the electronic properties of the molecule. This can affect its reactivity and physical properties compared to unsubstituted aniline. 3,5-Difluoroaniline is soluble in many organic solvents but has limited solubility in water.

In terms of its applications, 3,5-difluoroaniline serves as a building block or intermediate in the synthesis of various more complex organic molecules. It is often employed in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. For example, it can be used in the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and crop protection agents. Its specific chemical structure allows for targeted modifications and incorporation into desired molecular frameworks. Research into new synthetic routes and applications for 3,5-difluoroaniline continues to be an area of interest in organic chemistry.
