Applications & Uses

Uses

3-phenoxybenzaldehyde is an important intermediate for the synthesis of pyrethroid pesticides phenothrin, cypermethrin, deltamethrin,fenvalerate, fenpropathrin, flucythrinate, cyhalothrin, etc.

General Description

Enantioselective autoinduction during asymmetric hydrocyanation of 3-phenoxybenzaldehyde catalyzed by cyclo[(R)-phenylalanyl-(R)-histidyl] has been investigated. It undergoes hydrogenation catalyzed by Au/Pt bimetallic core/shell nanoparticles to yield 3-phenoxyphenyl methanol.

Preparation & Synthesis

Preparation

Synthesis of 3-Phenoxybenzaldehyde: 3-phenoxybenzoic acid is generated by catalytic oxidation of 3-phenoxytoluene, followed by electrolytic reduction to obtain Phenoxybenzyl alcohol , and then selective oxidation with sodium hypochlorite to obtain 3-Phenoxybenzaldehyde.
