Overview
Related Products

2-Fluorobiphenyl (CAS number 321-60-8), is a ortho-fluorinated phenylbenzene. It is commonly used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Flurbiprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, contains 2-fluorobiphenyl in its chemical structure. 2-Fluorobiphenyl is also applied in organic synthesis of arylation reactions. It serves as a ¹⁹F NMR probe, facilitating the determination of molecular structures.

2-Fluorobiphenyl also finds its application in the synthesis of microporous organic polymers (MOPs). The MOPs is synthesized through Friedel-Crafts acylation, exhibiting a surface area of 917 m²/g. The resulting MOPs are used in xenon/krypton gas separation and the encapsulation of phase change materials for thermal energy storage.
