Product Information
7-Fluoro-1-tetralone is identified by CAS 2840-44-0 and molecular formula C10H9FO. PubChem resolves the CAS to a single entry, CID 10374764, titled 7-Fluoro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-one. Both records contain SMILES C1CC2=C(C=C(C=C2)F)C(=O)C1, InChI InChI=1S/C10H9FO/c11-8-5-4-7-2-1-3-10(12)9(7)6-8/h4-6H,1-3H2, and InChIKey UCBYBFAJSWCTLG-UHFFFAOYSA-N. The familiar and systematic names therefore point to the same verified graph.
The structure is a tetralone framework containing a six-membered aromatic ring fused to a partially saturated carbonyl ring. Position 1 carries the ketone carbonyl, and fluorine occupies aromatic position 7. Formula C10H9FO accounts for one fluorine atom and one oxygen atom within a single connected component. The displayed SMILES contains no dot-separated counterion and no stereochemical annotation. Keeping the numeral 7 with fluoro and the numeral 1 with tetralone distinguishes this exact positional arrangement.
For an identity comparison, cite 7-Fluoro-1-tetralone together with CAS 2840-44-0. A structure file can also reference CID 10374764 or InChIKey UCBYBFAJSWCTLG-UHFFFAOYSA-N, which remain stable when the systematic name is written differently. The verified graph keeps fluorine on the aromatic portion and the carbonyl within the saturated ring, so both features should be visible in a submitted drawing. Rlavie can review that drawing against the fused-ring connectivity shown on this page. The content records verified nomenclature and structure identifiers only, without assigning additional characteristics to the compound.
