3-Fluoro-5-nitrotoluene, with the CAS number 499-08-1, is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of both a fluorine atom and a nitro group attached to a toluene ring. This compound features a fluorine substituent at the meta position (3-position) and a nitro group at the para position (5-position) relative to the methyl group on the benzene ring. It is typically a yellow to brown solid at room temperature and is known for its moderate solubility in organic solvents. The presence of the electronegative fluorine and the nitro group contributes to its reactivity, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, 3-fluoro-5-nitrotoluene may exhibit properties such as being a potential explosive under certain conditions due to the nitro group. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks through inhalation or skin contact.
