2-Fluorotoluene Structural

What is 2-Fluorotoluene?

Chemical properties

clear colorless to slightly yellow liquid

The Uses of 2-Fluorotoluene

It is employed in organic synthesis.

What are the applications of Application

2-Fluorotoluene is a useful fluorinated toluene for proteomics research

General Description

A colorless liquid with an aromatic odor. May sink or float on water.

Air & Water Reactions

Highly flammable. Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

2-Fluorotoluene is of generally low reactivity. Reacts with strong oxidizing agents and strong reducing agents. Also may be incompatible with many amines, nitrides, azo/diazo compounds, alkali metals, and epoxides [USCG, 1999].

Health Hazard

Inhalation of vapor may cause respiratory irritation. Prolonged and repeated vapor exposures may produce systemic toxic effects.

Purification Methods

Dry o-fluorotoluene with P2O5 or CaSO4 and fractionally distil it through a silvered vacuum-jacketed glass column with 1/8th-in glass helices. A high reflux ratio is necessary because of the closeness of the boiling points of the o-, m-and p-isomers [Potter & Saylor J Am Chem Soc 37 90 1951]. [Beilstein 5 H 290, 5 III 676, 5 IV 799.]
