Fluorobenzene

Fluorobenzene

phenyl fluoride; monofluorobenzene

CAS 462-06-6

Chemical Formula C6H5F

Molecular Weight 96.10 g/mol

Fluorobenzene, with the formula C6H5F, is a colorless liquid and the simplest fluorinated aromatic compound. It's a derivative of benzene, where one hydrogen atom is replaced by a fluorine atom. Fluorobenzene is used as a reagent in the synthesis of other fluorinated compounds and in the production of plastics and resins.

Industrial Uses

1. Pharmaceuticals

  • Antipsychotics: Fluorobenzene is used in the synthesis of antipsychotics like trifluoperazine, fluphenazine, and pentafluridol. 
  • Antibiotics: It's involved in the production of fluoroquinolone antibiotics, such as ciprofloxacin. 
  • Antidepressants: Fluorobenzene derivatives are used in the development of antidepressants like citalopram. 
  • Other Pharmaceuticals: It's also a building block for various other drugs, including NSAIDs and cardiovascular agents.

2. Performance Chemicals

  • Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution: Fluorobenzene's fluorine atom can be displaced by various nucleophiles, such as amines, alcohols, thiols, and carbanions, through a nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) mechanism. This reaction is particularly useful for introducing functional groups into aromatic rings.

3. Polymers & Resins

  • Reagent in Polymer Synthesis: Fluorobenzene acts as a building block in the creation of various polymers, including those with enhanced properties like low dielectric constants and high thermal stability.
