Description
4-Fluorophenol (CAS No. 371-41-5) is a high-purity fluorinated aromatic compound with the molecular formula C6H5FO. This versatile intermediate is widely used in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and material science research due to its reactive phenolic hydroxyl group and para-fluorine substitution. Available in crystalline form with ≥98% purity (GC), it exhibits excellent solubility in organic solvents like ethanol, methanol, and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).
Our 4-Fluorophenol is rigorously tested for impurities (HPLC, NMR) and packaged under inert gas to ensure stability. Ideal for nucleophilic substitution reactions, Suzuki couplings, and as a building block for advanced fluorinated compounds. SDS and analytical certificates are available upon request.

Application
4-Fluorophenol serves as a key synthon in pharmaceutical development, particularly for fluorinated drug candidates targeting CNS disorders. It’s employed as a precursor for liquid crystal materials and agrochemicals due to its electron-withdrawing properties. Researchers also utilize it in PET radiotracer synthesis and as a modifier in polymer chemistry.
