3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid is a useful synthetic intermediate, and is a derivative of Benzoic acid (B203900). 3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid has also been identified as a major metabolite of a series of 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl ethers in vitro, and is hypothesized to result via oxidation of the benzylic position.
3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid is an intermediate in synthesizing pharmaceutical compounds, which are substance P (neurokinin-1) receptor antagonists. In particular, such compounds are substance P (neurokinin-1) receptor antagonists, which are helpful, e.g., in treating inflammatory diseases, psychiatric disorders, and emesis.
3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid is a significant metabolite formed during metabolism of 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl ether via oxidation.
