What is Fluorination?

Fluorination is a chemical process used to introduce one or more fluorine atoms into a molecule. This reaction is essential in modern synthetic chemistry due to fluorine's unique properties, such as high electronegativity, small atomic size, and ability to improve the stability, bioactivity, and lipophilicity of compounds.

Fluorination in the Synthesis of Apalutamide

Fluorination is a key step in the synthesis of Apalutamide, a non-steroidal antiandrogen (NSAA) used for treating prostate cancer. The selective incorporation of fluorine (-F) and trifluoromethyl (-CF₃) groups enhances metabolic stability, bioavailability, and androgen receptor binding affinity.

Reaction

Fluorinated Intermediate: 2-Fluoro-5-nitro benzonitrile

Fluorination Method: Electrophilic fluorination with Selectfluor, nucleophilic fluorination using HF-based reagents, or direct trifluoromethylation
