4-Fluorobenzonitrile (Cat No.: R017168) is an aromatic organic compound featuring a fluorine atom at the para (4) position and a nitrile (-CN) group attached to a benzene ring. It is a valuable intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals. The electron-withdrawing nature of both the fluorine and nitrile groups enhances its reactivity in nucleophilic aromatic substitution and cross-coupling reactions. 4-Fluorobenzonitrile is also used in the development of fluorinated materials and bioactive compounds, offering improved metabolic stability and binding affinity.
