Application

Methyl 3-fluorophenylacetate is widely employed as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its meta-fluorine substitution pattern is particularly valuable for modulating the bioactivity and metabolic stability of drug candidates. Researchers utilize this compound in Suzuki-Miyaura and Heck cross-coupling reactions to construct complex fluorinated scaffolds. It also serves as a precursor for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and kinase inhibitors. The ester group can be hydrolyzed or transesterified for further functionalization in medicinal chemistry workflows.
