Product Description:

3-Chloro-2-fluorobenzaldehyde is an organic compound featuring both aldehyde and halogen (chloro and fluoro) substituents on a benzene ring. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid or low-melting solid with a molecular formula of C7H4ClFO and a molecular weight of 158.56 g/mol. This compound is a versatile aromatic aldehyde building block. Its primary application is in organic synthesis, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. The presence of the aldehyde group makes it a key intermediate for constructing more complex molecules via reactions such as condensation, reduction, or nucleophilic addition. The specific halogen substitution pattern (chloro and fluoro at the 2- and 3- positions) is often exploited to fine-tune the electronic properties, lipophilicity, and metabolic stability of target compounds in drug discovery programs. It serves as a precursor for various heterocycles and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). As a specialized synthon, it is commercially available from fine chemical suppliers for research and development purposes. Standard safety precautions for handling aldehydes and halogenated compounds should be observed.
