4-Fluorocinnamaldehyde(CAT: L041808) is an aromatic α,β-unsaturated aldehyde featuring a fluorine atom at the para position of the phenyl ring. This compound combines the electrophilic reactivity of the cinnamaldehyde moiety with the electronic effects of the fluorine substituent, making it highly versatile in organic synthesis. It serves as a key intermediate in the development of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fine chemicals, particularly in the synthesis of heterocycles, fluorinated analogs, and bioactive molecules. Its conjugated system enables participation in various reactions such as Michael additions, Schiff base formation, and cycloadditions, supporting drug discovery efforts and the design of fluorinated lead compounds for SAR studies.
