Fluorobenzaldehyde is a group of three constitutional isomers of fluorinated benzaldehyde.

Properties

edit

The isomers differ in the location of the fluorine, but they have the same chemical formulas.

Preparation

edit

The 4-fluorobenzaldehyde isomer can be produced by a halogen-exchange reaction with 4-chlorobenzaldehyde.[1]

Uses

edit

Fluorobenzaldehyde can be used as a synthetic intermediate because the fluorine can be replaced via oxidation reaction.[1] Due to the aldehyde group, the fluorobenzaldehydes can be used to make a variety of schiff base compounds through a condensation reaction, some of which have antimicrobial properties.[2][3]

4'-Fluorobenzaldehyde is used to make: sulindac, Synthetic raspberry (Polish),[4][5] FGIN-127, rosuvastatin, GF 73 (Paroxetine PLE method),[6] & rivoglitazone.

3'-Fluorobenzaldehyde is used to make: cinflumide, DFB [15332-10-2][7]

2'-Fluorobenzaldehyde is used to make: efaroxan
