2,5-Difluoroanisole (Cat No.: R015105) is an aromatic organic compound featuring a methoxy group (-OCH₃) and two fluorine atoms substituted at the 2 and 5 positions of a benzene ring. This compound is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and advanced materials. The electron-withdrawing fluorine atoms and the electron-donating methoxy group influence the molecule’s reactivity, making it suitable for selective electrophilic and nucleophilic aromatic substitutions. Its fluorinated structure also imparts increased metabolic stability and lipophilicity in drug development.
