Description

3-Fluorobenzoyl chloride (CAS No. 1711-07-5) is a highly reactive organic compound with the molecular formula C₇H₄ClFO. This aromatic acyl chloride is a colorless to pale yellow liquid under standard conditions, widely used as a key intermediate in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Its structure features a fluorine atom at the meta position relative to the reactive benzoyl chloride group, making it a valuable building block for introducing fluorinated benzoyl moieties into target molecules.

This compound is packaged under inert gas to ensure stability and is available in high purity grades (>98%) suitable for research and industrial applications. Due to its moisture sensitivity, proper handling under anhydrous conditions is recommended. 3-Fluorobenzoyl chloride is particularly useful in Friedel-Crafts acylation reactions, peptide coupling, and the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty materials.
