Application
3,5-Difluoroaniline (CAS 372-39-4) is a high-purity, fluorinated aromatic amine used as a key intermediate in pharmaceutical and agrochemical R&D, as well as in material science. As a versatile scaffold, it enables efficient access to fluorinated drug candidates via palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions (Suzuki-Miyaura, Buchwald-Hartwig) and nucleophilic aromatic substitution. It is widely used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical intermediates (APIs) targeting neurological and cardiovascular conditions, and in the development of agrochemicals such as broadleaf herbicides and fungicides, where the fluorine substituents enhance metabolic stability, binding affinity, and environmental profile. Additionally, it serves as a building block for specialty dyes, pigments, and fluorinated polymers with high thermal/chemical resistance. As a fragment molecule, it provides an ideal structural basis for molecular linking in drug discovery.
