General description
Methyl 2-fluorobenzoate is an ortho-halogen-substituted methyl benzoate ester. It reacts with hydrazide to afford 2-fluorobenzoic hydrazide. Methyl 2-fluorobenzoate undergoes enzymatic dihydroxylation via the whole-cell fermentation in the presence of Escherichia coli JM109 (pDTG601A) to afford a diol.
Application
Methyl 2-fluorobenzoate may be used to synthesize 2-fluoro-α-methylstyrene and 2-fluorophenyldiphenylmethanol.

A series of ortho-, meta-, and para- halogen-substituted methyl benzoate esters was subjected to enzymatic dihydroxylation via the whole-cell fermentation with E. coli JM109 (pDTG601A). Only ortho-substituted benzoates were metabolized. Methyl 2-fluorobenzoate yielded one diol regioselectively whereas methyl 2-chloro-, methyl
