Description

2-Fluoro-4-methyl-1-nitrobenzene (CAS No. 446-34-4) is a high-purity nitroaromatic compound with the molecular formula C₇H₆FNO₂. This yellow crystalline solid is a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. With a molecular weight of 155.13 g/mol, it features a fluorine substituent at the 2-position and a nitro group at the 1-position of the benzene ring, offering unique reactivity for electrophilic aromatic substitution and nucleophilic displacement reactions. Our product is rigorously tested to ensure ≥98% purity (GC) and is supplied in sealed glass containers under inert gas to prevent degradation. Ideal for Suzuki couplings, reduction to anilines, or as a precursor for fluorinated heterocycles.

Application

2-Fluoro-4-methyl-1-nitrobenzene serves as a key building block in medicinal chemistry for developing fluorinated drug candidates. The compound’s nitro group facilitates reduction to amino derivatives for aniline-based syntheses, while the fluorine atom enables selective functionalization. Researchers utilize it in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions to construct biaryl systems common in kinase inhibitors. Its electron-withdrawing properties make it valuable for studying charge-transfer complexes in materials science.
