FO29

FO29, also known as 2,4-difluoroaniline, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C6H4F2N. It is a derivative of aniline, where two hydrogen atoms are replaced by fluorine atoms. FO29 is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature, with a mild, aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, methanol, and acetone, but insoluble in water.

FO29 is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its fluorine atoms enhance the compound's stability and reactivity, making it a valuable building block in organic synthesis. FO29 is also used in the production of certain dyes and pigments due to its ability to form stable complexes with metal ions.

The synthesis of FO29 typically involves the fluorination of aniline using a fluorinating agent such as xenon difluoride or selectfluor. The resulting compound is then purified through distillation or recrystallization.

FO29 is classified as a hazardous substance due to its potential to cause skin and eye irritation, as well as respiratory issues upon inhalation. It is also toxic if ingested or absorbed through the skin. Proper handling and disposal procedures should be followed when working with FO29 to minimize the risk of exposure and environmental impact.
