2,3-Difluorobenzyl Bromide (CAS: 113211-94-2) is a valuable organic compound characterized by its benzyl bromide structure with two fluorine atoms substituted on the aromatic ring at the 2 and 3 positions. This specific arrangement of fluorine atoms imparts unique chemical properties that are highly advantageous in various synthetic applications, particularly within the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries.

Understanding its chemical properties is key for chemists looking to buy this intermediate. It typically appears as a clear, colorless to light yellow liquid with a boiling point around 190.5 °C and a density of approximately 1.628 g/mL. The presence of the bromine atom makes the benzyl carbon susceptible to nucleophilic substitution reactions, a primary mode of reactivity that allows for the facile introduction of the 2,3-difluorobenzyl group into various molecular scaffolds. This reactivity is central to its utility as a building block.

The fluorine atoms themselves significantly influence the molecule's electronic properties and can enhance the biological activity of downstream products. Fluorine's high electronegativity and small atomic radius can alter pKa values, improve lipophilicity, and increase metabolic stability by blocking sites prone to oxidative degradation. This makes 2,3-Difluorobenzyl Bromide an attractive intermediate for designing pharmaceuticals with improved efficacy and bioavailability.
