Applications & Uses

Uses

1,3-Difluorobenzene has been extensively used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical and pesticide intermediate. For example, it can be used for the synthesis of fluorinated medicine such as Fluconazole, etc. and pesticide (Flucycloxuron, Diflubenzuro, etc.). It can also be used to synthesize liquid crystal materials.

Uses

It is used in the laser induced fluorencence matrix study of 1,3-difluorobenzene radical cation. It is also used synthesis of 1,2,3-triazole containing fluconazole analogues.
