3-Fluorobenzonitrile Usage And Synthesis

Synthesis

Many of the advances made in the Halex reaction have been applied to fluorodenitration reactions, for example, 3-nitrobenzonitrile reacts with KF and catalytic amounts of Ph4PBr to give 3-fluorobenzonitrile.

Chemical Properties

clear colorless to yellow liquid

Uses

3-Fluorobenzonitrile has been used in the preparation of bis(3-cyanophenoxy)phenylenes.

General Description

Microwave spectrum of 3-fluorobenzonitrile has been studied. Amination of 3-fluorobenzonitrile with morpholine in DMSO at 100°C has been investigated.
