3-Fluorophenetole (m-Fluorophenetole) is a fluorinated aromatic ether widely used as a pharmaceutical intermediate and organic synthesis building block. This compound exhibits a boiling point of 155-156°C (lit.) and density of 1.044 g/cm³ at 25°C, with a characteristic refractive index of 1.4847. As a versatile precursor, it participates in various coupling reactions and serves in the synthesis of bioactive molecules. The liquid should be stored in sealed containers under inert atmosphere, protected from light. Safety precautions include proper ventilation and PPE (gloves/safety goggles) due to its flammable nature (Flash point: 51°C) and potential irritation to eyes/skin.
