Ethanol, with its hydroxyl properties, interacts with 3-chloro-4-fluorophenylpyruvate molecules or can form hydrogen bonds, which makes the substance soluble. And dichloromethane, with its molecular polarity and structural characteristics, also provides a suitable solution environment for 3-chloro-4-fluorophenylpyruvate acid. However, in water, its solubility is poor, due to the difference in the polarity of water molecules and the structure of the compound, it is difficult to form an effective interaction between the two.
As for the density, although there is no precise conventional value, it is speculated that its molecular structure and similar compounds may have a higher density than water. This property has a significant impact on operations such as phase separation and mixing, and is related to the distribution and behavior of substances in the system.
In addition, the compound may be volatile, and some molecules or from the solid surface escape to the gas phase at specific temperatures and environments. However, its volatility is weaker than that of common volatile organic compounds. This property needs to be carefully considered during storage and use to prevent changes in content or environmental pollution due to volatilization.

3-Cyanobenzoic acid is a crucial intermediate in the field of organic synthesis and is widely used in many fields such as medicine, pesticides and materials. Its synthesis methods are diverse and detailed as follows:
1. ** Using 4-fluorobenzoic acid as the starting material **: 4-fluorobenzoic acid can be converted into 4-fluorobenzoyl chloride by the action of suitable halogenating reagents such as thionyl chloride and phosphorus oxychloride. Subsequently, 4-fluorobenzoyl chloride reacts with cyanide reagents such as sodium cyanide and potassium cyanide under suitable solvents and conditions to obtain 3-cyanobenzoic acid. This approach is relatively simple, and the starting materials are relatively easy to obtain. However, the halogenated reagents and cyanide reagents involved in the reaction process are toxic and corrosive to a certain extent, so caution must be taken during operation.
2. ** Using 3-nitro-4-fluorobenzoic acid as raw material **: 3-nitro-4-fluorobenzoic acid is reduced by reduction reaction. Commonly used reducing agents include iron powder, sodium sulfide, and hydrogen (catalysts are required, such as palladium carbon, etc.). Nitro can be reduced to amino groups to obtain 3-amino-4-fluorobenzoic acid. Then, 3-amino-4-fluorobenzoic acid reacts with sodium nitrite under acidic conditions to form a diazonium salt. The diazonium salt reacts with cyanide reagents such as cuprous cyanide to introduce a cyanide group and obtain the target product 3-cyano- 4-fluorobenzoic acid. This method has a little more steps, but each step has better reaction selectivity and high product purity.
3. ** Through nucleophilic substitution reaction **: Select an aromatic compound containing a suitable substituent, and the substituent on the compound can undergo nucleophilic substitution reaction with cyano and fluorine atoms. For example, with 2-chloro-5-fluorobenzoic acid as raw material, it reacts with cyanide reagents such as sodium cyanide in the presence of suitable solvents (such as DMF, DMSO, etc.) and catalysts, and chlorine atoms are replaced by cyanyl groups to generate 3-cyano-4-fluorobenzoic acid. This method requires strict reaction conditions, and precise control of reaction temperature, time, and proportion of reactants is required to ensure smooth reaction and good yield.

3-Bromo-4-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid should be kept in mind during storage and transportation.
First, this substance has certain chemical activity. When storing, be sure to choose a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Because it may react with water vapor and oxygen in the air, the quality will change. If it is placed in a humid environment, water vapor or reactions such as hydrolysis will damage its chemical structure and properties; in a place with high temperature or poor ventilation, or due to slow chemical reactions, if the heat accumulates, it may be dangerous.
Second, the packaging must be tight. Use suitable packaging materials, such as sealed glass bottles, plastic containers lined with special materials, etc., to prevent leakage. Leakage not only causes material loss, but also functional groups such as bromine and hydroxyl groups may cause harm to the surrounding environment and personnel. Bromine is corrosive and irritating. If it comes into contact with the human body, it can cause burns; if it evaporates in the air, it will also pollute the air and endanger human health.
Third, when transporting, it is necessary to follow specific specifications according to its chemical characteristics. Avoid co-transportation with oxidizing agents, strong acids and alkalis, etc. Due to their active chemical properties, they may encounter the above substances, or cause violent chemical reactions, such as redox reactions, which can even cause serious accidents such as combustion and explosion. Transportation tools should also be kept dry and clean to prevent other impurities from mixing in.
Fourth, during storage and transportation, labels should be strictly carried out. Clearly label its name, nature, hazard characteristics and emergency treatment methods, so that relevant personnel can clearly and accurately take countermeasures in case of emergencies to reduce the harm.
