C6H5F2NH2

C6H5F2NH2, also known as difluoroaniline, is an organic chemical compound. It is a derivative of aniline, where two hydrogen atoms on the phenyl ring have been replaced by fluorine atoms. The exact position of the fluorine atoms can vary, leading to different isomers such as 2,4-difluoroaniline, 3,4-difluoroaniline, and others.

Difluoroanilines are typically solids at room temperature and are often characterized by their distinct melting points and solubilities. Their chemical properties are influenced by both the amino group, which confers basicity and reactivity typical of anilines, and the electronegative fluorine atoms, which can affect electron distribution and reactivity in the aromatic ring.

These compounds find applications as intermediates in the synthesis of various organic molecules. They can be used in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, dyes, and specialty polymers. The presence of fluorine atoms can impart unique properties to the final products, such as increased stability, altered lipophilicity, or modified biological activity. Research into new synthetic routes and applications for difluoroanilines continues to be an area of interest in organic chemistry.
