'''Fluorobenzene''' is the ] with the formula C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>5</sub>F, often abbreviated ]F. This species is a ] of ], with a single ] atom attached. Its melting point is 44&nbsp;°C lower than that of benzene, indicative of the remarkable effect of fluorination on the intermolecular interactions as seen throughout ]. In contrast, the boiling points of PhF and benzene differ by only 4&nbsp;°C. '''Fluorobenzene''' is an ] and the simplest of the ], with the formula C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>5</sub>F, often abbreviated ]F. A colorless liquid, it is a precursor to many fluorophenyl compounds.

PhF was first reported in 1886 by O. Wallach at the ], who prepared the compound in two steps. ] chloride was first converted to a ] using piperidine:
On the laboratory scale, PhF is conveniently prepared by the thermal decomposition of the benzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate<ref>{{OrgSynth|author = Flood, D. T.|year = 1943|title=Fluorobenzene|collvol = 2|collvolpages = 295|prep= CV2P0295}}.</ref>


:PhN<sub>2</sub>BF<sub>4</sub> &rarr; PhF + ] + ] :Cl + 2 (CH<sub>2</sub>)<sub>5</sub>NH PhN=N-N(CH<sub>2</sub>)<sub>5</sub> + Cl
The triazine was then cleaved with ]:
:PhN=N-N(CH<sub>2</sub>)<sub>5</sub> + 2 HF PhF + N<sub>2</sub> + F


Historical note: in Wallach's era, the element fluorine was symbolized with "Fl". Thus, his procedure is subtitled "Fluorbenzol, C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>5</sub>Fl".<ref>{{cite journal | doi = 10.1002/jlac.18862350303 | title = Ueber einen Weg zur leichten Gewinnung organischer Fluorverbindungen | date = 1886 | last1 = Demselben | journal = Justus Liebigs Annalen der Chemie | volume = 235 | issue = 3 | pages = 255–271 }}</ref>
According to the procedure, solid BF<sub>4</sub> is heated with a flame to initiate an ] that affords two volatile products, PhF and BF<sub>3</sub>, which are readily separated because of their differing ]s.


On the laboratory scale, PhF is prepared by the ] of the ] tetrafluoroborate:
PhF was first reported in 1886 by O. Wallach at the ], who prepared the compound in two steps, starting also with a phenyldiazonium salt. The diazonium chloride was first converted to its piperidinide, which in turn was cloven using ].
:PhN<sub>2</sub>BF<sub>4</sub> → PhF + BF<sub>3</sub> + N<sub>2</sub>
According to the procedure, solid BF<sub>4</sub> is heated with a flame to initiate an ], which also affords ] and nitrogen gas. Product PhF and BF<sub>3</sub> are readily separated because of their differing ]s.<ref>{{cite journal|author = Flood, D. T.|year = 1933|title=Fluorobenzene|volume=13|page=46|journal=Org.

The technical synthesis is by the reaction of ] with ]. The initially formed ] undergoes a ring expansion and subsequent elimination of ].

:PhN=N-NC<sub>5</sub>H<sub>10</sub> + 2 HF &rarr; PhF + N<sub>2</sub> + F
PhF behaves rather differently from other halobenzene derivatives owing to the pi-donor properties of fluoride. For example, the para position is more activated than benzene toward electrophiles. For this reason, it can be converted to 1-bromo-4-fluorobenzene with relatively high efficiency.<ref>{{cite journal|title=The Anomalous Reactivity of Fluorobenzene in Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution and Related Phenomena|first1=Joel|last1=Rosenthal|first2=David I.|last2=Schuster|journal=J.

An interesting historical note: in Wallach’s era, the element fluorine was symbolized with “Fl”. Thus, his procedure is subtitled “Fluorbenzol, C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>5</sub>Fl”.<ref>Wallach, O. “Über einen Weg zur leichten Gewinnung organischer Fluorverbindungen” (Concerning a method for easily preparing organic fluorine compounds) Justus Liebig's Annalen der Chemie, 1886, Volume 235, p.&nbsp;255–271; {{doi|10.1002/jlac.18862350303}}</ref>

PhF is a useful solvent for highly reactive species. Its melting point at -44&nbsp;°C is lower than that of benzene. In contrast, the boiling points of PhF and benzene are very similar, differing by only 4&nbsp;°C. It is considerably more polar than benzene, with a dielectric constant of 5.42 compared to 2.28 for benzene at 298 K.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Table of Dielectric Constants of Pure Liquids|publisher=National Bureau of Standards|year=1951}}</ref> Fluorobenzene is a relatively inert compound reflecting the strength of the C–F bond.


Although it is usually considered a non-coordinating solvent, a metal complex of PhF has been crystallized.<ref>{{cite book | doi = 10.1016/B0-08-045047-4/00028-5 | chapter = Transition Metal-mediated C–F Bond Activation | title = Comprehensive Organometallic Chemistry III | date = 2007 | last1 = Perutz | first1 = R.N. | last2 = Braun | first2 = T. | pages = 725–758 | isbn = 978-0-08-045047-6 }}</ref>
