Description
4-Fluoro-3-nitrobenzoic acid (CAS No. 453-71-4) is a high-purity aromatic carboxylic acid derivative with the molecular formula C7H4FNO4. This compound features a fluorine substituent at the para position and a nitro group at the meta position relative to the carboxylic acid functionality, making it a versatile building block for organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research. Its crystalline form ensures consistent reactivity, and it is rigorously tested for purity (typically ≥98% by HPLC or GC analysis) to meet the demands of advanced chemical applications. Ideal for use in Suzuki couplings, amidation reactions, and as a precursor for fluorinated heterocycles, this reagent is packaged under inert conditions to guarantee stability. Available in quantities ranging from grams to kilograms, it is suitable for both laboratory-scale experiments and industrial-scale production.

Application
4-Fluoro-3-nitrobenzoic acid is widely employed as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty materials. Its electron-withdrawing nitro and fluorine groups enhance reactivity in nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) reactions, facilitating the creation of complex aromatic scaffolds. Researchers also utilize it to develop fluorescent probes and bioactive molecules targeting enzyme inhibition. In material science, it serves as a monomer for designing high-performance polymers with tailored electronic properties.
