Product Information

• Name: 4-Fluoro-3-methoxybenzyl alcohol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Fluoro-3-methoxybenzyl alcohol is a fluorinated alcohol that is synthesized by the asymmetric addition of bromide ion to an alkylated enolate. This compound is used in organic synthesis as a building block for the preparation of other biologically active molecules. 4-Fluoro-3-methoxybenzyl alcohol can be used to synthesize l-tyrosine and glycine, which are amino acids that are important for protein synthesis. It also can be used in the production of propanoic acid, which is an important precursor for the industrial production of polymers such as polypropylene and polyethylene. 4-Fluoro-3-methoxybenzyl alcohol is not active against bacteria due to its lack of antibacterial properties.
