Description

Benzonitrile, 3-Acetyl-2-Fluoro- (9Ci) is a high-purity fluorinated aromatic nitrile building block, identified by CAS NO 112279-89-7. This compound is valued for its unique molecular architecture, which combines an electron-withdrawing nitrile group with an acetyl substituent and a fluorine atom on the aromatic ring, making it a versatile intermediate for advanced synthesis. It is primarily needed by research and development chemists and process scale-up teams in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for constructing complex molecules, particularly in the development of new active ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key synthon in the research and development of novel drug candidates, particularly for introducing fluorinated aromatic motifs.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of advanced pesticides and herbicides where the fluorine atom enhances biological activity and metabolic stability.
• Material Science Research: Serves as a precursor for specialty polymers, liquid crystals, and organic electronic materials due to its polarizable structure.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Employed in the synthesis of fluorinated probes and tags for imaging and diagnostic applications.
• Cross-Coupling Reactions: Acts as a substrate in palladium-catalyzed reactions (e.g., Suzuki, Sonogashira) for creating complex biaryl systems.
• Heterocyclic Chemistry: A valuable starting material for the synthesis of fluorinated quinoline, isoquinoline, and other nitrogen-containing heterocycles.
