General description

4-Fluorophthalic anhydride is a fluorinated building block commonly used in chemical synthesis for the preparation of polyimide, pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides. It can be synthesized by treating 4-chlorophthalic anhydride with potassium fluoride.

Application

4-Fluorophthalic anhydride can be used as a reactant to prepare:
  • 4-amino substituted phthalimides applicable as potential fluorescent probes and fluorescent bioactive compounds.
  • 4,4′-bis(4-fluorophthalimido)diphenyl ether monomer, which is used in the synthesis of cardo polymers via nucleophilic substitution polymerization reaction.
  • Asymmetric polyimides by a solution polycondensation reaction.
