3-Fluorophthalic anhydride

3-Fluorophthalic anhydride is white to off-white crystalline powder

3-Fluorophthalic anhydride used in the preparation of substituted benzamides with potential neuroleptic activity.1

3-Fluorophthalic Anhydride is used in the preparation of flubendiaminde insecticide.

3-Fluorophthalic anhydride may be used in the preparation of substituted benzamides with potential neuroleptic activity. It may be employed as starting reagent for the synthesis of 8-fluoro-10-methyl-1,2-benzanthracene.

3-Fluorophthalic anhydride undergoes reduction with NaBH₄ to afford 4-fluorophthalide and 7-fluorophthalide. It can be synthesized starting from 3-nitrophthaloyl dichloride.
