ryloxyfen is commercially produced by a process that begins with the preparation of 2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenol, which undergoes nucleophilic aromatic substitution with a 5-hydroxy-2-nitrophenol to form a diphenyl ether intermediate. This intermediate is then reacted with tetrahydrofuran-2-ylmethanol under etherification conditions to yield the final compound.
