The Uses of 2-Fluorobenzonitrile

2-Fluorobenzonitrile, also known as o-fluorobenzonitrile, is an organic aromatic fluoride. It has a wide range of applications in pharmaceuticals, pesticides, dyestuffs, etc. In the field of dyestuff, the introduction of fluorine atom makes the dyed products bright and colorful and less likely to fade, among other advantages.

General Description

2-Fluorobenzonitrile reacts with lithium N,N-dialkylaminoborohydride reagent to yield 2-(N,N-dialkylamino)benzylamines.
