2-Fluoro-4-hydroxybenzonitrile(CAT: L013654) is an aromatic compound featuring a fluorine atom at the ortho position, a hydroxyl group at the para position, and a nitrile group on a benzene ring. This multifunctional molecule serves as a valuable intermediate in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and materials research. Its nitrile group allows for further derivatization into amides, acids, or heterocycles, while the hydroxyl moiety facilitates ether or ester formation. The electron-withdrawing fluorine enhances metabolic stability and influences electronic properties, making it a preferred building block in the synthesis of bioactive compounds, fluorinated aromatic frameworks, and advanced functional materials used in chemical and medicinal applications.
