At the same time, in my other blogs, there are other synthetic methods of this type of compound,78573-45-2, 3-(3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl)propan-1-ol, and friends who are interested can also refer to it.

With the rapid development and complex challenges of chemical substances, the synthesis of new drugs is usually one of the most effective ways to increase yield.78573-45-2, name is 3-(3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl)propan-1-ol, molecular formula is C10H11F3O, molecular weight is 204.19, as common compound, the synthetic route is as follows.Safety of 3-(3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl)propan-1-ol

Example 2 Synthesis of 3-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-propionaldehyde (II) A solution of compound (V) (1.0 g, 4.90 mmol) in dichloromethane (20 ml) is cooled in water/ice bath, treated in succession with DMSO (770 mg, 9.80 mmol) and P2O5 (1.39 g, 9.80 mmol) and left under stirring for 30 minutes, while temperature raises to 20 C. The reaction mixture is then cooled in water/ice bath and triethylamine (2.4 ml, 17.15 mmol). The resulting solution is kept under stirring while temperature raises to 20 C. After one hour the mixture is treated with 5% HCl, the phases are separated and the organic one is further washed with 5% HCl. The organic phase is then washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure, to afford 0.99 g of the aldehyde of formula (II) in quantitative yield. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3), ppm: 9.83 (t, 1H, J 0.9 Hz), 7.48-7.38 (m, 4H), 3.02 (t, 2H, J 7.2 Hz), 2.82 (m, 2H).
