FluorobenzaldehydeFluorobenzaldehyde is a group of three constitutional isomers of fluorinated benzaldehyde.PropertiesThe isomers differ in the location of the fluorine, but they have the same chemical formulas.PreparationThe 4-fluorobenzaldehyde isomer can be produced by a halogen-exchange reaction with 4-chlorobenzaldehyde.UsesFluorobenzaldehyde can be used as a synthetic intermediate because the fluorine can be replaced via oxidation reaction. 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.
