a colorless liquid with an alcohol odor. Stable nature, distillation does not decompose, and water and many organic solvents miscible. Boiling point 103.5 °c. Melting Point -26. 45 °c. The relative density (d20) was 1. 1040. Refractive index 3647. The chemical properties are similar to those of ordinary alcohols, and the corresponding aldehydes and acids can be obtained by oxidation. An alkoxide is formed by reaction with an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal, thereby forming an ether.
prepared by reacting 2-chloroethanol with potassium fluoride in a high boiling point solvent of ethylene glycol type at 175 °c.
2-fluoroethanol and its derivatives are used to poison rodents, and their derivatives can be used as herbicides and to poison some plant pests.

use | used as an intermediate of medicine and pesticide an intermediate of antibacterial drug fleroxacin (fleroxacin). 2-Fluoroethanol and its derivatives are used to poison rodents, and their derivatives can be used as herbicides and poison some plant pests. |
production method | 96.6g(1.2mol) of 2-chloroethanol was added dropwise to a mixture of 94ml of ethylene glycol and 105g(1.8mol) of anhydrous potassium fluoride, and the reaction was held at 180 ℃ for 2h to obtain 32.34g of 2-fluoroethanol with a yield of 42.1%. |
