4-Chloromethyl-3-fluoro-benzonitrile

CAS: 345903-03-9

4-Chloromethyl-3-fluoro-benzonitrile is a reagent that is used in the chlorination of potassium and various other substrates. It is also used to generate 4-chloro-3-fluorobenzoic acid, which is used as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals such as sulfasalazine and mesalamine. 4-Chloromethyl-3-fluoro-benzonitrile is industrially produced by chlorinating 3,4,5,6-tetrafluorobenzonitrile with chlorine gas or hydrochloric acid. The chloride ion replaces the hydrogen atom on the carbon adjacent to the fluorine atom. This reaction occurs in two steps: first, the chloride ion reacts with 3,4,5,6-tetrafluorobenzonitrile to produce 3-(chloromethyl)benzonitrile (CMN). Second, CMN reacts
