O-Fluorotoluene

o-Fluorotoluene, also known as 2-Fluorotoluene or 2-Methylfluorobenzene, is a fluorinated aromatic hydrocarbon with the formula C₇H₇F. It is a clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid with an aromatic odor. With the fluorine atom ortho to the methyl group, it delivers enhanced metabolic stability and electronic effects, making it a useful building block for fluorinated agrochemicals and industrial organofluorine synthesis.
