2-Propanone, O-[(2R)-1-oxo-2-[4-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]phenoxy]propyl]oxime

Trifopsime is commercially produced by a process that involves constructing the core structure of (2R)-1-[(isopropylideneamino)oxy]-2-{4-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]phenoxy}propan-1-one through oxime ether formation, where a substituted propanone oxime reacts with a bis-phenoxy intermediate containing a trifluoromethyl group. This process typically uses organic solvents and base catalysts to ensure stereoselectivity and yield.

Non-selective. Auxin mimic.
