CAS 1194-02-1: 4-Fluorobenzonitrile

4-Fluorobenzonitrile is a synthetic process that produces the diacid 4-fluorobenzoic acid. This compound can be used in nucleophilic amination reactions with aryl chlorides to produce 2,4-dichloroanilines and 2,4,6-trichloroanilines. 4-Fluorobenzonitrile has been shown to have a high reaction selectivity for aromatic halides and an organic solvent such as glycol ethers. It can also form granules when mixed with an appropriate solvent. The vibrational spectrum of this compound can be seen in the infrared region from 1,200 to 5,000 cm−1.

4-Fluorobenzonitrile is used as chemical intermediate, solvent for perfumes and pharmaceuticals, stabilizer for chlorinated solvents, HPLC analysis, catalyst and component of transition-metal complex catalysts.
