General Description

2-Fluorobutanoic acid, also known as α-fluorobutyric acid, is a carboxylic acid with the chemical formula C4H7FO2. It is a colorless liquid with a faint odor, and is commonly used in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. 2-Fluorobutanoic acid is a fluorinated derivative of butyric acid, and its fluorine substituent makes it more resistant to metabolism and degradation in living organisms, making it potentially useful in the development of new drugs and pesticides. The compound is also a strong inhibitor of the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase, and has potential applications in cancer therapy due to its ability to disrupt cancer cell metabolism. However, its use and production are strictly regulated due to its potential toxicity and environmental impact.
