6-Fluoro-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzopyran-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (CAS: 100978-58-9) is a fluorinated dihydrocoumarin derivative serving as a critical chiral intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis. The molecular formula is C11H11FO4. Produced via catalytic cyclization of substituted phenols with acrylic esters, this compound facilitates the construction of complex heterocyclic scaffolds essential for modern drug discovery.
Store under inert atmosphere at temperatures below -20°C to prevent hydrolysis. Handle with appropriate PPE due to potential skin irritation; avoid inhalation of dust. Not approved for direct clinical use as an active pharmaceutical ingredient.
