• Synonyms: 1-(5-Fluoro-2-methoxyphenyl)ethanone, Ethanone, 1-(5-fluoro-2-methoxyphenyl)-

Description

5'-Fluoro-2'-methoxyacetophenone is a reactive intermediate that undergoes an electrophilic aromatic substitution with methanol to form the corresponding fluorinated methoxyacetophenone. It can be used to synthesize other fluorinated compounds.
5'-Fluoro-2'-methoxyacetophenone can be activated by reaction with O-chloro-N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochloride (O-CDMAH) in acetonitrile at room temperature to form the corresponding chloromethylated product. The activated intermediate is then reacted with methanol in methanol/water (1:4) to yield the desired product.
