Fluorobenzaldehyde

Fluorobenzaldehyde is a group of three constitutional isomers of fluorinated benzaldehyde.

Properties

The isomers differ in the location of the fluorine, but they have the same chemical formulas.

Preparation

The 4-fluorobenzaldehyde isomer can be produced by a halogen-exchange reaction with 4-chlorobenzaldehyde.^[1]

Uses

Fluorobenzaldehyde can be used as a synthetic intermediate because the fluorine can be replaced via oxidation reaction.^[1] Due to the aldehyde group, the fluorobenzaldehydes can be used to make a variety of schiff base compounds through a condensation reaction, some of which have antimicrobial properties.^[2]^[3]
