What is 4-Fluorophenol CAS 371-41-5?
4-Fluorophenol is a light yellow crystalline solid at room temperature and pressure, with significant acidity. Due to the strong electron withdrawing properties of fluorine atoms, its acidity is much greater than that of pure phenol. 4-fluorophenol can react with acids or bases to form corresponding salts. It can undergo oxidation reactions under the action of oxidants, generating corresponding phenolphthalein compounds.
