CAS 446-22-0: 2'-fluoropropiophenone

2'-Fluoropropiophenone

2-Fluoropropiophenone is a fluorinated analog of propiophenone, which is a precursor to other compounds. It is synthesized by reacting acetonitrile with bromine and fluorine gas. 2-Fluoropropiophenone can be used as an intermediate in the synthesis of organic compounds, but it also has potential applications in medicine or dentistry. The compound's high nucleophilicity makes it efficient for reactions involving anions, such as the formation of imines from amines and carbonyl groups. 2-Fluoropropiophenone can be made at temperatures between -40°C and 100°C, although higher temperatures are more efficient.

2'-Fluoropropiophenone is an important raw material and intermediate used in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and dyestuff. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

Applications 2-Fluoropropiophenone (cas# 446-22-0) is a compound useful in organic synthesis.
