TCI B6512 2-Bromo-1-(3-fluorophenyl)ethanone (CAS 53631-18-8) is a reactive α-bromo aryl ketone bearing a meta-fluorine substituent. The activated α-carbon readily undergoes nucleophilic substitution, making it a classic precursor for thiazole, imidazole, and related heterocycle syntheses. It is also used to introduce fluorinated aryl fragments into target molecules in medicinal chemistry work. Phenacyl bromides are strong lachrymators and irritants, so always handle this material in a fume hood with full protective equipment and store it cool, dry, and tightly closed.
