1-Fluoro-4-nitrobenzene
1-Fluoro-4-nitrobenzene (CAS: 350-46-9), with the molecular formula C6H4FNO2 and a molar mass of 141.10 g/mol, is a fluorinated aromatic compound. It serves as a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its distinct structure, featuring both a nitro group and a fluorine atom on a benzene ring, allows for versatile chemical transformations.

Pharmaceutical Intermediate
Utilised in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). The presence of the fluorine atom can influence drug properties such as metabolic stability and bioavailability.
Agrochemical Synthesis
A key building block for the creation of various pesticides and herbicides. Its reactive sites allow for the introduction of complex functionalities required for crop protection agents.
Research and Development
Employed in academic and industrial research laboratories for the exploration of novel chemical entities and reaction pathways.
Organic Synthesis
Serves as a versatile synthon for introducing the 4-nitrophenyl group or undergoing nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions due to the activating nitro group and the leaving-group potential of fluorine.
