Application | 3-fluorobenzyl alcohol is an organic intermediate, which can be reduced by 3-fluorobenzaldehyde, and the reducing agent can be selected from sodium borohydride Or lithium borohydride. 3-fluorobenzyl alcohol is an alcohol organic matter, which can be used as an intermediate in medicine, pesticides, and liquid crystal materials. |
preparation | 3-fluorobenzaldehyde (20g,0.161mol) was dissolved in THF(200mL) and sodium borohydride (2.03g,0.054mol) was added to the reaction mixture. Then add methanol (15mL) dropwise to it. The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 2 hours. After the raw material is completely consumed, wash the reaction mixture with water (3 × 100mL) and brine (100mL). The organic layer was dried with magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain compound (20.8g). Output 20.8g. |
