Product Information

• Name: 5-Bromo-2-fluorobenzoic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 5-Bromo-2-fluorobenzoic acid is a potential drug that can be used to treat diseases such as malaria. It is also used in the synthesis of fluorine compounds, such as fluoroarenes. 5-Bromo-2-fluorobenzoic acid is activated by deprotonation with butyllithium and reacts with chlorine to give the product of 5-bromo-2-chlorobenzoic acid. The reagent chlorotrimethylsilane may also be used for this reaction. Substitution of fluorine for chlorine at the 2 position yields the desired product, 5-bromo-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid. This compound is a useful intermediate for making other drugs, including those that are important for treating cancer and viral infections.
