Specifications | MSDS | Literature and Reviews


2,4-Difluoro-(1H-1,2,4-triazolyl)acetophenone (CAS number 86404-63-9) has a difluoroacetophenone that is attached to a triazole unit. 2,4-Difluoro-(1H-1,2,4-triazolyl)acetophenone is a molecular scaffold for triazole antifungal medications, for instance, fluconazole, voriconazole and efinaconazole. The ketone moiety in 2,4-difluoro-(1H-1,2,4-triazolyl)acetophenone allows various modifications via Grignard reaction and aldol reaction. Enantioselective additions are also sufficient with chiral prolines catalysed aldol reaction or chiral auxiliaries assisted Grignard reaction.
