4-Fluoroaniline can be prepared by the hydrogenation of 4-nitrofluorobenzene.[2]

It is a common building block in medicinal chemistry and related fields.[3] For example, it is a precursor to the fungicide fluoroimide [de] or the fentanyl analogue parafluorofentanyl. It has also been evaluated for the production of ligands for homogeneous catalysis.[4]
