4-(Benzyloxy)-1-bromo-2-fluorobenzene

4-(Benzyloxy)-1-bromo-2-fluorobenzene (CAS 185346-79-6), also known as 1-Bromo-2-fluoro-4-(phenylmethoxy)benzene or 4-Benzyloxy-2-fluorobromobenzene, is a high-purity multi-substituted fluorinated aromatic intermediate widely used in pharmaceutical synthesis, organic chemistry research, and fine chemical manufacturing. This compound features a benzyloxy group at the para-position, a bromine substituent at position 1, and a fluorine atom at the ortho-position of the benzene ring, making it a versatile building block for the development of complex organic molecules and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). As a key intermediate in cross-coupling reactions, nucleophilic aromatic substitution, and functional group transformations, it exhibits excellent reactivity in Suzuki coupling, Sonogashira coupling, Buchwald-Hartwig amination, and benzyloxy deprotection pathways. Our product is manufactured under strict quality control standards, ensuring a purity of ≥98%, making it ideal for pharmaceutical manufacturing, medicinal chemistry research, and scale-up production. This compound is particularly valuable in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals containing multi-halogenated aromatic scaffolds, kinase inhibitor intermediates, fluorinated drug precursors, and specialty chemical precursors. As a reliable benzene derivative intermediate from our product line, it serves as an important precursor for constructing functionalized aromatic systems in drug discovery and fine chemical development programs.
