introduction | p-hydroxyphenylethanol is an alcohol derivative, an intermediate for organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research and development, and an intermediate for petalol. it is mainly used for the synthesis of the cardiovascular drug metoprolol. |
Target | Value |
Use | Intermediate of petalol. mainly used for the synthesis of cardiovascular drug medoxine used for chelating zero-valent iron catalyzed oxidation of organic acids in olive mill wastewater. |
production method | p-hydroxyacetophenone can be oxidized with fatty nitrile, and then hydrolyzed to obtain (p-hydroxyphenyl) glyoxal, which is reduced to obtain the product. |
