What is Bis(4-fluorophenyl)-methanone?
The Uses of Bis(4-fluorophenyl)-methanone
Bis(4-fluorophenyl)methanol, also referred to as 4,4'-difluorobenzhydrol, is a diphenyl methanol building block with two fluorine atoms at the para-position. Bis(4-fluorophenyl)methanol is an important building block for synthesizing antipsychotic drug such as fluspirilene, pimozide and penfluridol. Bis(4-fluorophenyl)methanol is also used in the total synthesis of Tunicamycin V, a homologous nucleoside antibiotic.
General Description
4,4′-Difluorobenzophenone is typically used as a starting material for the preparation of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) polymer, a high-temperature thermoplastic, which finds wide use in dentistry as well as in automotive, oil industries, etc.
