Product Information

• Name: 2-Fluorobenzoic acid methyl ester
• Synonyms: Methyl 2-fluorobenzoate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Fluorobenzoic acid methyl ester is a chemical compound that belongs to the group of borohydride reduction. It is a colorless liquid that can be used as a solvent for chemical reactions. 2-Fluorobenzoic acid methyl ester is used in synthetic methods, such as the reduction of benzoate to benzyl alcohol. The borohydride reduction produces a mixture of regioisomers, which can be separated by fractional distillation. 2-Fluorobenzoic acid methyl ester is also used in the synthesis of hydrogen peroxide, which is produced by the reaction of sodium borohydride with hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide can then react with 2-fluoro benzoic acid methyl ester to produce 2-fluoro benzaldehyde and water.
