2-FLUORO-3-NITROBENZOIC ACID
1. Basic Information
Name: 2-Fluoro-3-nitrobenzoic acid
Alias: 2-Fluoro-3-nitrobenzenecarboxylic acid
CAS No.: 317-46-4
Molecular Formula: C7H4F1N1O4
Molecular Weight: 186.11
Category: Fluorinated aromatic fine chemical, pharmaceutical synthetic intermediate, organic building block
2. Physical and Chemical Properties
Physical Properties
- Appearance: Pale yellow crystalline powder
- Odor: Odorless
- Solubility: Slightly soluble in cold water; soluble in hot water, ethanol, methanol, acetone, ethyl acetate; insoluble in petroleum ether
- Melting Point: 170–173 ℃
- Density (predicted): 1.57 g/cm3
- Hygroscopy: Non-hygroscopic under normal humidity
- Aqueous property: Weakly acidic due to carboxylic acid group, dissolves in dilute alkaline solution to form soluble benzoate salt
Chemical Properties
- Molecular structure: Monofluorinated benzoic acid with ortho-fluoro and meta-nitro substituents on benzene ring, contains carboxyl, nitro and fluorine leaving group
- Carboxyl reaction: Carboxylic acid group undergoes esterification, amidation, decarboxylation to construct drug molecular fragments
- Aromatic nucleophilic substitution: Ortho fluorine atom has high reactivity, easy to be substituted by amines, alcohols and thiols
- Nitro reduction: Nitro group can be reduced to primary amine to prepare amino fluoro benzoic acid intermediates
- Thermal stability: Stable below 150 ℃; prolonged heating above melting point causes slight decomposition
- Photostability: Slightly light-sensitive, long-term UV irradiation deepens yellow color
- Compatibility: Compatible with polar organic solvents, weak alkaline aqueous solution; incompatible with strong reducing agents, strong oxidants, concentrated strong alkali

Safety Warning
Low-toxic irritant aromatic crystalline powder. Dust irritates eyes, nasal tract and respiratory mucosa; long-term skin contact causes mild dry itching. All operations must be carried out in ventilated fume hood with dust-proof respirator and nitrile chemical-resistant gloves. Avoid mixing with strong reducing agents to prevent violent redox reaction. Waste liquid neutralized with alkali before discharge; solid waste classified as fluorine-containing fine chemical hazardous waste disposed by licensed professional institutions.
