Product Information

• Name: 5-Cyano-2-fluorobenzaldehyde
• Synonyms: 4-Fluoro-3-formylbenzonitrile
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 5-Cyano-2-fluorobenzaldehyde is a chemical reagent that can be synthesized from the reaction of an alkene and an active methylene. It is used as an acceptor in amine condensation reactions and as a nucleophile in nitration reactions. 5-Cyano-2-fluorobenzaldehyde has been shown to be effective against most organisms, including bacteria, fungi, and parasites. The mechanism of action for this compound is still under investigation but it is thought to work by equilibrating with the anion form, which can act as a weak acid or base. This would allow the molecule to disrupt the cell membrane by interfering with its charge balance.
