2-Fluoro-6-nitrotoluene Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

colorless to light yellow liqui

Uses

1-Fluoro-2-methyl-3-nitrobenzene

Uses

2-Fluoro-6-nitrotoluene has been used in the preparation of 4-fluoroindole via Leimgruber-Batcho procedure.

General Description

2-Fluoro-6-nitrotoluene undergoes reduction in the presence of stannous chloride, followed by benzoylation to yield N-(3-fluoro-o-tolyl)benzamide. 2-Fluoro-6-nitrotoluene undergoes reaction with concentrated nitric acid at 100°C to yield 2-fluoro-6-nitrobenzoic acid.
