Fluorotoluene series
The fluorotoluene series refers to a group of aromatic compounds derived from toluene (methylbenzene), where one or more hydrogen atoms on the benzene ring are substituted with fluorine atoms. Examples include 2-fluorotoluene, 3-fluorotoluene, and 4-fluorotoluene, distinguished by the position of the fluorine atom relative to the methyl group (-CH3). These compounds combine the properties of toluene, which include aromaticity and the ability to undergo various chemical transformations, with the electron-withdrawing effects of fluorine substituents. Fluorotoluenes are utilized in organic synthesis as intermediates for pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals.
