General description

Lithiation reaction of 1,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene has been investigated. 1,3-Bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene undergoes regioselective metalation and subsequent carboxylation at position 2 to give 2,6-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid.

Application


  • Electrogenerated chemiluminescence of 9,10-diphenylanthracene, rubrene, and anthracene in fluorinated aromatic solvents.: This study explores the electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) properties of various aromatic compounds in fluorinated solvents, including 1,3-Bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene. The research highlights the efficiency and stability of ECL in these fluorinated environments, which can be crucial for applications in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and other analytical techniques (Vinyard et al., 2008).
