Introduction
M-fluorotoluene is an organic compound. It is a colorless liquid with a benzene-like odor. The following is an introduction to the properties, uses, preparation methods and safety information of m-fluorotoluene:
Quality:
- Density: approx. 1.15 g/cm³
- Solubility: Soluble in non-polar solvents such as ether and benzene, insoluble in water
Use:
- It can also be used as a solvent, especially in organic synthesis reactions, such as fluorination and arylation.
Method:
- M-fluorotoluene can be prepared by the reaction of benzene and fluoromethane in the presence of a catalyst for fluorine compounds. Common catalysts are cuprous fluoride (CuF) or CuI, which react at high temperatures.
Safety Information:
- M-fluorotoluene is a flammable liquid that can burn when exposed to open flames, high temperatures, or organic peroxides.
- It is irritating to the skin and eyes, and personal protective equipment such as gloves and goggles should be worn when used.
- Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents to prevent violent reactions.
