3-(3-Trifluoromethylphenyl)propionic acid Usage And Synthesis

Description

3-(3-Trifluoromethylphenyl)propionic acid is an important organic solvent with a mild, pleasant aroma, used as an efficient organic reagent in polymer production processes and as a co-catalyst for trifluoroacetic acid. It is used in biological research as a substrate for the synthesis of various compounds and for the study of enzyme-catalysed reactions. It is also used in the synthesis of cinacalcet. Cinacalcet is a drug used to treat chronic kidney disease (dialysis) and high levels of calcium in the blood (parathyroid disease).

Chemical Properties

3-(3-Trifluoromethylphenyl)propionic acid has the appearance of a white or colourless to yellowish powder to a lumpy to clear liquid with a melting point of 35 °C and a boiling point of 149 °C/11 mmHg; store at room temperature.

Uses

3-(3-Trifluoromethylphenyl)propionic Acid can be used as catalysts.

Uses

3-(3-Trifluoromethylphenyl)propionic acid is used in the synthesis of Cinacalcet and also participates in the boron-catalyzed N-alkylation of amines of carboxylic acids.

Preparation

3-(3-Trifluoromethylphenyl)propionic acid is synthesised by the reaction of 3-trifluoromethylaniline and propionic acid.
