4-Fluoro-3-methylanisole

Chemical Properties

clear colorless liquid

Uses

Photolysis of the charge transfer complex of tetranitromethane and 4-fluoro-3-methylanisole in dichloromethane at -20°C yields the epimeric 1-fluoro-4-methoxy-6-methyl-6-nitro-3-trinitromethylcyclo-hexa-1,4-dienes, 1-fluoro-4-methoxy-2-methyl-r-5-nitro-c-6-trinitromethylcyclohexa-1,3-diene and 4-fluoro-5-methyl-2-trinitromethylanisole.
