Description
This intermediate, also known as (4-Fluorophenyl)acetone, 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 that 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.

Chemical Properties
clear yellow liquid

Uses
4-Fluorophenylacetone 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 was found that it inhibited the growth of this bacterium by binding to the enzyme RNA polymerase, preventing transcription and replication.
