Description

3-Fluoro-4-methylphenol is a regiospecific, nature, activating, radiopharmaceutical, which is used in the synthesis of asymmetric formylation reagents. It can be synthesized from nitrobenzene and formaldehyde in the presence of sodium hydroxide. 3-Fluoro-4-methylphenol can be converted to 3-fluoroacetophenone by hydrogenation with palladium on charcoal. This compound has an electron withdrawing group and a nucleophilic group that are activated by a dihedral angle of 30° or less. The nitro group has the ability to accept electrons from other compounds or compounds such as ammonia or amines.

It has been found that 3-fluoro-4-methylphenol can be used for the preparation of various pharmaceuticals such as antihistamines, anticonvulsants, hypnotics/sedatives, and antipsychotics. In addition, it
