Preparation, reactions, use

edit

2-Chloro-6-fluorobenzaldehyde is prepared by oxidation of 2-chloro-6-fluorotolulene by chromyl chloride.[3]

It reacts with sodium hydroxide to give a mixture of 2-chloro-6-fluorobenzene and 6-chlorosalicaldehyde.[4]

2-Chloro-6-fluorobenzaldehyde is used in the production of the antiseptics dicloxacillin and flucloxacillin. Additionally it is used in the production of pesticides.
