Application

3-Fluorobenzylic alcohol serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals, including antipsychotics and anti-inflammatory agents. Its hydroxyl group enables esterification or etherification, while the fluorine atom enhances metabolic stability in drug molecules. Researchers also utilize it to prepare fluorinated liquid crystals and polymers with tailored optical/electronic properties. In agrochemistry, it acts as a precursor for herbicides and pesticides with improved environmental persistence.
