What are the physical and chemical properties of 2-Bromo-4-fluorobenzaldehyde (CAS: 59142-68-6)?

2-Bromo-4-fluorobenzaldehyde (CAS: 59142-68-6) is a crystalline solid with a molecular weight of approximately 217.03 g/mol. It has a low solubility in water but is more soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and acetone. Chemically, it is moderately reactive, particularly with nucleophiles and reducing agents. It reacts with amines to form N-substituted derivatives and can be reduced to 2-bromo-4-fluorobenzyl alcohol.
