|  |  | 4-Fluorobenzoic acid Usage And Synthesis | 
 | Description | 4-Fluorobenzoic acid is used as an intermediate in organic synthesis. For instance, it is used to synthesize N-cuccinimidyl 4-[18F]-fluorobenzoate, which is used for the 18F labeling of antibodies. It has been used in high resolution charge density study. |  | Reference | AG. Vaidyanathan, M. R.
