Product Information
4,4,4-Trichloro-3-hydroxybutanoic acid is a benzyl ester of the fatty acid 4,4,4-trichloro-3-hydroxybutanoic acid. The molecule has an optical isomer that can be synthesized from the corresponding symmetrical compound. The synthesis of 4,4,4-trichloro-3-hydroxybutanoic acid involves the reaction of benzyl alcohol with trichloromethyl chloride in the presence of an acid catalyst. This reaction yields two isomers: one of which has the same configuration as the starting material and one that is an optical isomer. The latter can be converted to its antipode by hydrogenation or by heating with sodium methoxide in methanol.
