4-Fluorobenzene-1,3-dicarboxylic acid is an aromatic compound with a benzene ring substituted by a fluorine atom at the 4-position and carboxylic acid groups (-COOH) at the 1- and 3-positions. This molecular arrangement provides both acidity and electron-withdrawing properties from the fluorine, influencing the compound’s reactivity in organic synthesis. It serves as a useful intermediate in producing polymers, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals, where the fluorine atom and carboxyl groups enable modifications, making it valuable in materials and medicinal chemistry research.
