Application of 3597-91-9, Adding some certain compound to certain chemical reactions, such as: 3597-91-9, name is [1,1′-Biphenyl]-4-ylmethanol,molecular formula is C13H12O, can increase the reaction rate and produce products with better performance than those obtained under traditional synthetic methods. Here is a downstream synthesis route of the compound 3597-91-9.

Reference Example 50 4-Phenylbenzyl Bromide To a solution of 4-phenylbenzyl alcohol (1.00 g, 5.43 mmol) in a mixture of diisopropyl ether (10 mL) and chloroform (20 mL) was added phosphorus tribromide (0.98 g, 3.62 mmol) with ice-cooling and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. This reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with diisopropyl ether. The organic layer was washed with water and saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, dried over MgSO4, and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was recrystallized from ethanol-hexane to provide 1.00 g of the title compound. Yield 75%. m.p. 86-88 C. 1H-NMR (CDCl3) delta: 4.55 (2H, s), 7.32-7.67 (9H, m).
