Description

3-(Trifluoromethyl)benzaldehyde is an organic compound that has the chemical formula C8H7FO. It is a trifunctional molecule with three phenolic hydroxyl groups, which makes it a good candidate for drug design. 3-(Trifluoromethyl)benzaldehyde can be synthesized by reacting an imine with a chiral acid chloride in the presence of a base and a catalytic amount of DMAP. The reaction yield is low, but this synthetic method is efficient. 3-(Trifluoromethyl)benzaldehyde has been shown to inhibit the growth of Mycobacterium avium, but not Mycobacterium tuberculosis or other bacteria such as Listeria monocytogenes and Escherichia coli. This might be due to its ability to inhibit protein synthesis by binding to ribosomes. This compound also possesses anti-inflammatory properties and inhibits leukemia Hl-
