4-Fluoro-2-nitroaniline is used as a reagent in the preparation of 4-fluoro-o-phenylenediamine, 4-fluoro-N-ethyl-2-nitroaniline and N-(4-fluoro-2-nitrophenyl)-beta-alanine. It is also employed as a pharmaceutical intermediate. It acts as monodendate O-bonded ligand used in the coordination chemistry to form complexes with copper(II), nickel(II) and cobalt(II).
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
