CAS 50919-06-7: 2-(2-Fluorophenyl)ethanol

2-(2-Fluorophenyl)ethanol is a molecule that belongs to the group of amines. It is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of other molecules. 2-(2-Fluorophenyl)ethanol has been shown to have hyperlocomotion effects in mice, which may be due to its ability to inhibit dopamine uptake or stimulate dopamine release. 2-(2-Fluorophenyl)ethanol also inhibits the enzyme monoamine oxidase, which breaks down amines and can lead to toxic effects. This drug has been shown to have good pharmacokinetic properties and can be used for the treatment of hypertension. 2-(2-Fluorophenyl)ethanol binds to potassium t-butoxide, which facilitates nucleophilic substitution reactions with aryl halides and ether linkages.
