General description

4′-Fluoro-2′-hydroxyacetophenone is a substituted acetophenone derivative. Biological Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of 4′-fluoro-2′-hydroxyacetophenone to 4-fluorocatechol by using whole cells of Pseudomonas fluorescens ACB has been reported. Its crystals belong to the monoclinic crystal system and space group P21/n.

Application

4′-Fluoro-2′-hydroxyacetophenone may be used in the preparation of series of 4′-fluoro-2′-hydroxychalcones, via aldol condensation with substituted aldehydes followed by cyclization with hydrazine hydrate.
Used recently in the preparation of medicinally active benzo[b]furans and thiophenes.

In an effort to develop safe and potent anti-inflammatory agents, a series of novel 4'-fluoro-2'-hydroxychalcones 5a-d and their dihydropyrazole derivatives 6a-d was prepared. It was synthesized via aldol condensation of 4'-fluoro-2'-hydroxyacetophenone with appropriately substituted aldehydes followed by cyclization with hydrazine

The biological Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of acetophenones was studied by 19F nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The 19F NMR method was used to characterise the time-dependent conversion of various fluorinated acetophenones in either whole cells of Pseudomonas fluorescens ACB or in incubations
