Preparation, reactions, use

2-Chloro-6-fluorobenzaldehyde is prepared by oxidation of 2-chloro-6-fluorotolulene by chromyl chloride.{{Cite journal |doi=10.1002/cber.19310641019 |title=Über Brom-Addition an substituierte Zimtsäuren |date=1931 |last1=Willstaedt |first1=Harry |journal=Berichte der Deutschen Chemischen Gesellschaft (A and B Series) |volume=64 |issue=10 |pages=2688–2693 }}

It reacts with sodium hydroxide to give a mixture of 2-chloro-6-fluorobenzene and 6-chlorosalicaldehyde.{{Cite journal |last=Bunnett |first=J. F. |last2=Miles |first2=J. H. |last3=Nahabedian |first3=K. V. |date=1961 |title=Kinetics and Mechanism of the Alkali Cleavage of 2,6-Dihalobenzaldehydes 1 |url=https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ja01472a022 |journal=Journal of the American Chemical Society |language=en |volume=83 |issue=11 |pages=2512–2516 |doi=10.1021/ja01472a022 |issn=0002-7863}}

2-Chloro-6-fluorobenzaldehyde is used in the production of the antiseptics dicloxacillin and flucloxacillin. Additionally it is used in the production of pesticides.
