4-Fluoro-1,3-dioxolan-2-one (Cat No.: M026412) is a five-membered cyclic carbonate featuring a fluorine atom at the 4-position, combining electrophilic and polar properties. It is structurally related to ethylene carbonate and is often explored as a solvent or electrolyte additive in lithium-ion batteries, where the fluorine atom enhances oxidative stability and ionic conductivity. Its small, rigid ring structure also makes it useful as a building block in organic synthesis, particularly for introducing fluorinated functional groups into pharmaceutical and agrochemical compounds.
