3-Fluorobenzyl bromide（Cat No.:R058384）is an aromatic halide with the molecular formula C7H6BrF, consisting of a benzyl bromide core substituted with a fluorine atom at the meta (3-) position. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid that serves as a reactive intermediate in organic synthesis. The compound is primarily used for introducing the 3-fluorobenzyl group into various molecules, especially in the development of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fine chemicals. Its benzylic bromide moiety enables efficient nucleophilic substitution reactions, making it valuable for forming carbon-nitrogen, carbon-oxygen, and carbon-sulfur bonds in target compounds.
