Description
4-Bromo-2,6-difluorobenzoyl chloride (CAS No. 497181-19-8) is a highly reactive and versatile benzoyl chloride derivative with the molecular formula C7H2BrClF2O. This compound features a bromo and two fluoro substituents on the benzene ring, enhancing its electrophilic properties and making it an excellent intermediate for nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions. With a purity of ≥95% (GC), it is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid under inert conditions to prevent hydrolysis. Ideal for pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and material science research, this reagent is particularly valuable in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), liquid crystals, and advanced organic frameworks. Proper handling under anhydrous conditions and storage at 2-8°C is recommended to maintain stability.
