2,6-Difluorophenol Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

colorless crystalline low melting solid

Uses

2,6-Difluorophenol undergoes oxidative polymerization in the presence of the Fe-N,N?-bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine (salen) complex (catalyst) and hydrogen peroxide (oxidizing agent) to give poly(2,6-difluoro-1,4-phenylene oxide). It is also used as pharmaceutical intermediates.
