2,6-Difluorobenzamide is a fluoro-benzamide synthesis intermediate — a building block used in the manufacture of benzoylurea-type agrochemical intermediates. Identity: CAS 18063-03-1.
What it is
2,6-Difluorobenzamide (CAS 18063-03-1, C7H5F2NO) is a fluoro-benzamide sold as a synthesis intermediate — a defined building block that downstream manufacturers convert into finished products. It is typically derived from 2,6-difluorobenzonitrile.
Role in synthesis
The amide is a direct precursor in benzoylurea chemistry and can be dehydrated or further functionalized. The substitution pattern (isomer) is part of the identity — confirm the CAS to be sure the isomer matches your route, because position isomers react differently and lead to different products.
What it is used to make
It is a building block toward benzoylurea-type agrochemical intermediates. RawSource supplies the intermediate; the downstream synthesis, product registration and any application or efficacy are the responsibility of the manufacturer that uses it.
Forms, grades and handling
Supplied to a defined assay with a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) per lot; define the assay and key impurity limits your route needs. Several halo-aromatic intermediates are hazardous and some are regulated — confirm regulatory status and handling for your jurisdiction, and always consult the current Safety Data Sheet (SDS). Typical values are not a guaranteed specification; the CoA governs.
Bulk and custom-quantity supply
RawSource sources 2,6-Difluorobenzamide direct from producers in bulk and custom quantities, with CoA, TDS and SDS per lot. Tell us the assay and impurity limits and your sample/pilot/production quantity, and we will quote it and confirm supply continuity. See the full range in the intermediates guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is 2,6-difluorobenzamide used for?
2,6-Difluorobenzamide (CAS 18063-03-1) is a synthesis intermediate used toward benzoylurea-type agrochemical building blocks; it is typically made from 2,6-difluorobenzonitrile.
Can RawSource supply 2,6-difluorobenzamide in bulk or custom quantities?
Yes — RawSource supplies 2,6-difluorobenzamide in bulk and custom (sample/pilot/production) quantities with CoA, TDS and SDS per lot. Tell us the assay, impurity limits and quantity, and we will quote it and confirm supply.
What is the REACH and TSCA regulatory status of 2,6-Difluorobenzamide?
2,6-Difluorobenzamide (CAS 18063-03-1) is subject to U.S. TSCA Inventory requirements; supplying it into the EU requires valid REACH registration ((EC) No 1907/2006). RawSource cannot verify a third-party supplier's registrations — buyers should require documented TSCA and REACH compliance for their jurisdiction and volume (EC 241-972-8).
