1-Bromo-4-fluorobenzene is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of atypical antipsychotic agents.
4-Bromofluorobenzene can act like a surrogate standard for the:
determination of toxicity of diesel and water accommodated diesel fraction (WAF), towards microalgal species like Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata and Chlorella sp.MM3, using gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
determination of the chemicals like benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX) and their stable carbon isotopic values, in gasoline contaminated ground-water, using gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
4-Bromofluorobenzene is a dihalogenated benzene used in the preparation of pharmaceutical compounds such as atypical antipsychotic agents.
ChEBI: 1-bromo-4-fluorobenzene is a member of the class of bromobenzenes that is bromobenzene carrying a fluoro atom at position 4. It is a member of bromobenzenes and a member of monofluorobenzenes.
Highly flammable. Insoluble in water.
Simple aromatic halogenated organic compounds, such as 4-Bromofluorobenzene, are very unreactive. Reactivity generally decreases with increased degree of substitution of halogen for hydrogen atoms. Materials in this group may be incompatible with strong oxidizing and reducing agents. Also, they may be incompatible with many amines, nitrides, azo/diazo compounds, alkali metals, and epoxides.
ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: Irritant.
Flammability and Explosibility
Flammable
