Synthesis

1-Fluoronaphthalene can be obtained by reacting naphthalene with Selectfluor.[2]

Properties

1-Fluoronaphthalene is a colorless, combustible liquid, which is insoluble in water.[3]

Applications

1-Fluoronaphthalene was used for the tert-butyllithium-mediated synthesis of 6-substituted phenanthridines. It has also been used in the synthesis of LY248686, a potent inhibitor of serotonin and norepinephrine uptake.

1-Fluoronaphthalene is also used as a component of the Organic Check Material mounted in canisters on Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity rover. It's used for calibrating the Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument suite, being a synthetic organic compound not found in nature on Earth and not expected on Mars.[4]
