General Description
Methyl 2-fluorobenzoate is an ortho-halogen-substituted methyl benzoate ester. It reacts with hydrazide to afford 2-fluorobenzoic hydrazide. Methyl 2-fluorobenzoate undergoes enzymatic dihydroxylation via the whole-cell fermentation in the presence of Escherichia coli JM109 (pDTG601A) to afford a diol.
