Application

2-Chloro-6-fluorobenzyl alcohol serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antifungal and antibacterial agents. Its reactive benzylic alcohol group allows for facile conversion to aldehydes, halides, or esters, enabling diverse derivatization pathways. Researchers utilize this compound in Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions to construct biaryl scaffolds common in drug discovery. It is also employed in the preparation of liquid crystal materials due to its polarizable aromatic system.
