3-Fluorotoluene

3-Fluorotoluene

1-fluoro-3-methylbenzene; m-fluorotoluene

CAS 350-72-5

Chemical Formula C7H7F

Molecular Weight 110.13 g/mol

3-Fluorotoluene is a colorless to light yellow liquid with a pleasant aromatic odor. It's a flammable substance, potentially irritating to skin and eyes, and harmful if swallowed. It's used in chemical synthesis, such as the selective synthesis of 3-fluorobenzaldehyde, and for generating tolyl cations in mass spectrometry. 

Industrial Uses

1. Pharmaceuticals

  • Antihypertensives: Used in the synthesis of drugs that lower blood pressure. 
  • Anti-inflammatories: Used in the development of drugs that reduce inflammation. 
  • Sleeping aids: An intermediate in the synthesis of certain sleep-inducing drugs. 
  • Antibiotics: Used in the synthesis of quinolone antibiotics.

2.  Agrochemicals

  • Intermediate in Synthesis: 3-Fluorotoluene serves as a building block for creating more complex fluorinated molecules used in agrochemical formulations.

3. Polymers & Resins

  • Building Block for Fluorinated Polymers: 3-Fluorotoluene acts as a precursor for creating various fluorinated monomers, which are then polymerized to form fluorinated polymers. These monomers, like fluorinated acrylates, can be incorporated into resins to improve properties like water and oil repellency, stain resistance, and thermal stability.
