Product Information

• Name: [(Trifluoromethyl)sulfinyl]benzene
• Synonyms: Phenyl trifluoromethyl sulfoxide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: [(Trifluoromethyl)sulfinyl]benzene is a useful synthetic intermediate for the preparation of sulfoxides and sulfones. It is prepared by the reaction of an aromatic hydrocarbon, such as phenol or anisole, with aryl boronic acids in the presence of magnesium. This reaction is commonly referred to as a cross-coupling reaction. The terminal alkynes are not reactive enough to react with [(trifluoromethyl)sulfinyl]benzene; however, this can be remedied by adding fluorophosphoric acid (FPA) to activate these alkynes.
