 | Hazard Information | Back Directory |  | [Description] 
 This intermediate, also known as 4-Fluorophenylacetone, presents as a dark yellow liquid. It is known to be insoluble in water. For best results, store in a tightly closed container in a dry and well-ventilated place. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. 4-Fluorophenylacetone is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. This chemical is a combustible liquid.

 clear yellow liquid
 |  | [Uses] 
 4-Fluorophenylacetone(459-03-0) is an important raw material and intermediate used in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and dyestuff fields. It is a haloarylacetone derivative used in a study of reversed enantiopreference of an ω-transaminase by a single-point mutation.
 |  | [Application] 
 (4-Fluorophenyl)acetone is a phenylacetic acid derivative that inhibits the 5-HT2 receptors. It has been shown to have inhibitory activities against dopamine and serotonin by acting as an agonist at the receptor. (4-Fluorophenyl)acetone also binds to nucleophilic sites on proteins, which may lead to inhibition of protein synthesis. Brevibacterium sp. strain P7 was used as a model system and it has found that it inhibited the growth of this bacterium by binding to the enzyme RNA polymerase, preventing transcription and replication.
