3-Fluorophenyl methyl sulfone (meta-Fluorophenyl methyl sulfone) is a fluorinated aromatic sulfone compound widely used as a pharmaceutical intermediate, particularly in the synthesis of kinase inhibitors and bioactive molecules. This compound exhibits a melting point of 48-52°C and predicted boiling point of 304.5±34.0°C at 760 mmHg. With a density of 0.975 g/cm³ and refractive index of 1.507, it serves as a versatile building block for drug discovery. The material should be stored sealed in dry conditions at room temperature. Safety precautions include wearing protective gloves and eye/face protection due to potential skin/eye irritation (GHS Category 2). The meta-fluorine substitution pattern enhances its utility in structure-activity relationship studies of drug candidates.
