What is 2-Fluoro-3-nitrobenzoic Acid?
2-Fluoro-3-nitrobenzoic acid (CAS 317-46-4) is an essential fluorinated aromatic intermediate widely used in medicinal chemistry, drug synthesis (such as BRAF inhibitors like Dabrafenib), agrochemicals, and fine chemical applications.
Chemical Reactivity & Synthesis Applications
Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution
Due to the strong electron-withdrawing nature of both the nitro group and the carboxyl group in the ortho/para positions relative to the fluorine atom, the C-2 fluorine acts as an effective leaving group. It readily undergoes nucleophilic displacement with amines, alkoxides, or thiols to construct functionalized aromatic scaffolds.
Pharmaceutical Intermediate
Oncology: Acts as a key starting raw material for kinase inhibitors, including the BRAF inhibitor Dabrafenib.
General Derivatives: Serves as a building block for benzenesulfonamide thiazoles, quinolone derivatives, and cysteine protease inhibitors.
Carboxylic Acid Transformations
The -COOH functional group can undergo standard derivatizations, such as conversion to acyl chlorides via oxalyl chloride/thionyl chloride, or esterification and amide coupling reactions using standard coupling reagents (e.g., EDC, HATU).

FAQ
Every commercial shipment of 2-Fluoro-3-nitrobenzoic acid (CAS 317-46-4) is accompanied by a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA), Safety Data Sheet (SDS), and Technical Data Sheet (TDS). For customer process validation, pilot scale scaling, or regulatory filing support, we provide high-resolution analytical documentation including:
HPLC Purity Profile (Standard 98.0%, custom batches up to 99.5%).
Residual Solvents Analysis via Headspace GC (ensuring compliance with ICH Q3C guidelines).
Loss on Drying (LOD) and elemental analysis.
In 2-Fluoro-3-nitrobenzoic acid, the fluorine atom at the C-2 position is strongly activated toward nucleophilic aromatic substitution due to the synergistic electron-withdrawing effects of both the neighboring nitro group at C-3 and the carboxylic acid group at C-1.
Storage Stability: The raw material is hygroscopic and sensitive to ambient air moisture over extended periods. We package it in sealed, moisture-proof aluminum foil bags with desiccant or PE-lined drums, recommended to be stored at 2-8℃in a dark, dry warehouse to prevent slow hydrolysis.
Synthesis Reaction Control: When executing coupling or reduction reactions, temperature and base choice are crucial. For selective reduction of the nitro group to synthesize 3-amino-2-fluorobenzoic acid, catalyst selection and hydrogen pressure must be precisely optimized to avoid unwanted catalytic hydrodefluorination.
Under global transport regulations (DOT, IATA, IMDG), 2-Fluoro-3-nitrobenzoic acid (CAS 317-46-4) is generally classified as a non-dangerous/general chemical product (GHS Category 07: Warning for skin/eye irritation, H315/H319/H335), which significantly reduces shipping complexity and freight surcharges compared to restricted hazardous substances.
R&D & Lab Scale: Packed in 100g,500g,1kg double-sealed moisture-proof aluminum foil bags with heat-shrink tamper-evident seals.
Commercial / Bulk Scale: 25 kgfiber drums with inner dual-layer heavy-duty polyethylene (PE) bags.
Custom Logistics: All exports are supplied with complete HS Code documentation (HS: 2916399090) and SDS for smooth customs clearance worldwide via DHL/FedEx Express, air freight, or ocean shipping.
Yes. Shandong Zhishang Bio provides custom processing and Contract Manufacturing (CMO/CDMO) starting from CAS 317-46-4:
Particle Size Customization: We can perform controlled micronization or sieve classification if your synthesis pathway requires a specific particle size distribution for fast dissolution rates.
Downstream Derivatization: If your production process requires pre-converted intermediates—such as 2-fluoro-3-nitrobenzoyl chloride (via thionyl chloride conversion), methyl 2-fluoro-3-nitrobenzoate, or specific amide couplings—our synthetic R&D laboratory can manufacture these downstream building blocks under strict NDA to help streamline your in-house synthesis chain.
