General description

5-Chloro-2-fluorobenzonitrile is a benzonitrile derivative. The X-ray diffraction analysis indicates that its crystals belong to the monoclinic crystal system and P21/c space group.
5-Chloro-2-fluorobenzonitrile may be used in the preparation of methyl 3-amino-5-chlorobenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylate by reacting with methyl thioglycolate and triethylamine via microwave-assisted synthesis.
