Scientific Research Applications

• Use in PET Imaging Agents: 2-Fluoroethyl acetate derivatives, such as 2-(4-(2-[18F]fluoroethoxy)benzamido)acetate ([18F]FEBA), have potential use in tumor imaging. They show satisfactory stability and high radiochemical purity, making them promising for future study in novel fluorine-18-labeled pharmaceuticals (He et al., 2011).
• Electrochemical Properties for Lithium Batteries: Monofluorinated ethyl acetates, including 2-fluoroethyl acetate, have been studied for their physical and electrochemical properties, particularly in the context of lithium secondary batteries. The use of 2-fluoroethyl acetate as a co-solvent has been found to improve cycling efficiency and suppress fading of discharge capacity at high cycle numbers (Nanbu et al., 2015).
• Investigations into Brain Metabolism: Studies have looked at the use of acetate and fluoroacetate as markers for glial metabolism in the brain. These compounds, including 2-fluoroethyl acetate, may offer insights into regional metabolism in the brain and can provide complementary data to that obtained with other methods (Muir et al., 1986).
• Applications in Cancer Treatment: Research has also explored the use of fluorinated compounds, including 2-fluoroethyl acetate derivatives, in cancer treatments. This includes the use of fluorinated compounds in PET imaging for diagnosis and monitoring of cancer progression (Buchegger et al., 2013).
• Synthesis of Fluorinated Compounds: The potential for the biochemical synthesis of fluorinated compounds, utilizing 2-fluoroethyl acetate, has been demonstrated. This approach can be used to incorporate fluorine into a range of complex molecules for use in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research (Walker et al., 2013).
