Product Information

• Name: 2,3,4-Trifluorobenzoic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2,3,4-Trifluorobenzoic acid is a fluorinated fatty acid that has been shown to have anticancer activity. The molecule can be synthesized by reacting 2-bromo-1-(trifluoromethyl)benzene with potassium hydroxide in the presence of benzoic anhydride. This synthesis reaction yields (2,3,4-trifluoro)benzoic acid as the main product and a small amount of 2,3-dihydrobenzoic acid. The analytical method used to determine the purity of this compound is LC-MS/MS. The vibrational spectrum of this compound has been found to show strong absorption in the UV region at 290 nm. It also shows strong absorption at uv wavelengths greater than 300 nm due to its conjugation with fluorine atoms. This chemical is a precursor for synthesis of coumarin derivatives such as 4-[(2,3
