1,2-Difluorobenzene, also known as DFB, is an aromatic compound with formula C6H4F2. This colorless flammable liquid is a solvent used in the electrochemical studies of transition metal complexes. Compared to most conventional halogenated aliphatic and aromatic solvents, it possesses an exceptionally high dielectric constant (ε0 = 13.8 at 300 K). Thus, it can be a suitable solvent for cationic, and/or highly electrophilic organometallic complexes.[2]

Synthesis
Difluorobenzenes can be prepared by the Balz-Schiemann reaction, which entails conversion of diazonium tetrafluoroborate salts to their fluorides. The synthesis of 1,2-difluorobenzene starts with 2-fluoroaniline:[3]
- C6H4F(NH2) + HNO2 + HBF4 → [C6H4F(N2)]BF4 + 2 H2O
- [C6H4F(N2)]BF4 → C6H4F2 + N2 + BF3
The syntheses of 1,3- and 1,4-difluorobenzene proceed respectively from 1,3- and 1,4-diaminobenzene, which are doubly diazotized.[4]
Laboratory applications
Organometallic derivatives of 1,2-difluorobenzene have been well developed. It is found to be a weaker base than benzene.[5]
1,2-Difluorobenzene has been used as solvent for the electrochemical analysis of transition metal complexes. It is relatively chemically inert, weakly coordinating and has a relatively high dielectric constant. It is a weakly coordinating for metal complexes, in contrast to acetonitrile, DMSO, and DMF.[6]
It has anaesthetic properties.[7]
1,2-Difluorobenzene can be acylated to 3',4'-difluoropropiophenone.[8]
