Cinnamic acid is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 5-CH=CH-COOH. It is a white crystalline compound that is slightly soluble in water, and freely soluble in many organic solvents. [ 4 ] Classified as an unsaturated carboxylic acid , it occurs naturally in a number of plants.
Trifluoromethyltrimethylsilane (known as Ruppert-Prakash reagent, TMSCF 3) is an organosilicon compound with the formula CF 3 Si(CH 3) 3. It is a colorless liquid. It is a colorless liquid. The compound is a reagent used in organic chemistry for the introduction of the trifluoromethyl group .
The trifluoromethyl group is a functional group that has the formula-CF 3. The naming of is group is derived from the methyl group (which has the formula -CH 3), by replacing each hydrogen atom by a fluorine atom. Some common examples are trifluoromethane H– CF 3, 1,1,1-trifluoroethane H 3 C – CF 3, and hexafluoroacetone F 3 C –CO– CF 3.
[4] It can be used in place of oxalyl chloride in the Swern oxidation, allowing temperatures up to −30 °C. [5] With sodium iodide, it reduces sulfoxides to sulfides. [4] Trifluoroacetic anhydride is the recommended desiccant for trifluoroacetic acid. [6]
B(C 6 F 5) 3 forms a strong Lewis adduct with water, [5] which was shown to be a strong Brønsted acid having an acidity comparable to hydrochloric acid (in acetonitrile). [6] In consequence, even traces of moisture are able to deactivate B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 and remaining catalytic activity might only be due to the Brønsted acidity of the water adduct.
Trifluoroethanol is produced industrially by hydrogenation or the hydride reduction of derivatives of trifluoroacetic acid, such as the esters or acyl chloride. [1]TFE can also be prepared by hydrogenolysis of compounds of generic formula CF 3 −CHOH−OR (where R is hydrogen or an alkyl group containing from one to eight carbon atoms), in the presence of a palladium containing catalyst ...
3,4,5-Trimethoxybenzaldehyde can be used as an intermediate in the synthesis of some pharmaceutical drugs including trimethoprim, [1] [2] cintriamide, roletamide, trimethoquinol (aka tretoquinol), and trimazosin as well as some psychedelic phenethylamines.
The first to investigate trifluoromethyl groups in relationship to biological activity was F. Lehmann in 1927. [5] An early review appeared in 1958. [6] An early synthetic method was developed by Frédéric Swarts in 1892, [7] based on antimony fluoride. In this reaction benzotrichloride was reacted with SbF 3 to form PhCF 2 Cl and PhCF 3.
