Application

2,4-Difluoro-5-iodobenzoic acid serves as a key building block in medicinal chemistry for the synthesis of fluorinated drug candidates, particularly in oncology and CNS therapeutics. Its iodine moiety facilitates Suzuki-Miyaura or Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions to introduce complex aryl/alkyne groups. The difluoro substitution enhances metabolic stability in bioactive molecules. Researchers also utilize it to prepare iodine-labeled probes for imaging studies or as a precursor for radiopharmaceuticals.
