Description
2,5-Difluorobenzaldehyde (CAS No. 2646-90-4) is a high-purity fluorinated aromatic aldehyde with the molecular formula C7H4F2O. This compound is a valuable building block in organic synthesis, particularly in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries, due to its reactive aldehyde group and electron-withdrawing fluorine substituents. Its IUPAC name, 2,5-difluorobenzaldehyde, reflects its precise structural configuration. Available in >98% purity, this chemical is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic aromatic odor. Proper storage under inert conditions is recommended to prevent oxidation. Suitable for use in Grignard reactions, reductive amination, and as a precursor for heterocyclic compounds.
