4-Fluorophenylacetonitrile is used as a reagent in the synthesis of novel Daidzein analogs which exhibit anti-influenza activity in vitro. It is also used as a reagent in the synthesis of benzylbenzo[d]thiazole sulfonamides which exhibit anti-inflammatory activity.
4-Fluorophenylacetonitrile is starting reagent in the synthesis of 1-Alkyl-N-[2-ethyl-2-(4-fluorophenyl)butyl]piperidine-4-carboxamide derivatives.
4-Fluorophenylacetonitrile undergoes biotransformation to 4-Fluorophenylacetic acid by marine fungi, Aspergillus sydowii Ce19.
