Product Information
4-Benzyloxy-3-fluorobenzoic acid is a chiral compound that can be used as a building block in the synthesis of optical materials. This compound is a mesomorphic, unsymmetrical, and 3-hydroxybenzoic acid, which has two different enantiomers. The transition from one form to another can be seen by optical microscopy studies. The synthesis of 4-benzyloxy-3-fluorobenzoic acid can be done using the reaction of 4-chloro-2,2'-difluoroacetophenone with benzyl alcohol and sodium hydroxide.
