Related Products of 454-91-1, As we all know, there are many different methods for the synthesis of a compound, and people can choose the synthesis method that suits their own laboratory according to the actual situation. 454-91-1, name is 1-[3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]ethanol, molecular formula is C9H9F3O, The compound is widely used in many fields, so it is necessary to find a new synthetic route. The downstream synthesis method of this compound is introduced below.

Example 13 Separation of rac.-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenylethanol using a chiral selector generated from (4R,5R)-bis(hydroxydiphenylmethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane and Al(O-isopropyl)3 (selector:alcohol ratio 1:1) 13.0 mmol (6.0 g) of (4R,5R)-bis(hydroxydiphenylmethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane and 13.0 mmol (2.62 g) of aluminum triisopropoxide are put into 40 ml of diphenyl ether in a glove box. The resulting suspension is stirred under protective gas at 90 C. for 60 min. This is followed by addition of 13 mmol (2.50 g) of racemic 1-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)ethanol and stirring for a further 10 min. Subsequently, the resulting isopropanol is distilled out under about 20 mbar. Then, at 1 mbar and 90 C., 1.25 g of a mixture of the enantiomers of 1-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)ethanol as distillate are obtained. Investigation of the distillate by chiral gas chromatography (BGB-Analytikvertrieb BGB-174S) revealed an enantiomeric excess of 27.8%.

According to the analysis of related databases, 454-91-1, the application of this compound in the production field has become more and more popular.
