Overview
2,4-Dichloro-5-fluoroacetophenone is a specialized chlorinated aromatic ketone used primarily as an intermediate in agrochemical and pharmaceutical synthesis. Produced via electrophilic halogenation of acetophenone derivatives, its molecular formula is C8H5Cl2FO with CAS No. 106973-35-3.
Application
- Synthesis of pyridine-based herbicides targeting broadleaf weeds.
- Manufacturing of novel fluoro-containing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
- Production of high-performance liquid crystal materials requiring specific halogen substitution.
Precautions
Store in a cool, dry, ventilated area away from incompatible oxidizers. Personnel must wear chemical-resistant PPE due to potential skin irritation and respiratory hazards during handling.
