Description

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.
