2-fluoro-6-nitrophenol is a pentane derivative of nitrobenzene that is used as a precursor to 2-fluoro-4-nitrophenol. It is prepared by nitration of 2-fluoro-4-nitrophenol in the presence of concentrated nitric acid. The yield for this reaction is high, and it can be carried out in preparative or small scale with high yields. This reaction is reversible, so the product can be recovered by distillation and reused.
