2-Fluoro-6-Chlorobenzonitrile Usage And Synthesis

Synthesis

A further example of nitro rather than chloro acting as a leaving group is demonstrated in the reaction of Ph4PHF2 with 2-chloro-6-nitrobenzonitrile to give 2-fluoro-6- chlorobenzonitrile.

Chemical Properties

colourless to light beige crystals, crystalline

Uses

2-Chloro-6-fluorobenzonitrile was used in the synthesis of:

• rac-2-chloro-6-(oxiran-2-ylmethoxy)benzonitrile
• high-molecular-weight, soluble polyarylether alternating copolymers containing pendent cyano groups

General Description

2-Chloro-6-fluorobenzonitrile is an inhibitor of cellulose synthesis.
