Application

2-(Trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid was used in the synthesis of 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives containing 2-fluoro-4-methoxy moiety. It was also used to investigate the binding of 2-pyridinone and amino acid derivative as ligands with chaperones PapD and FimC by surface plasmon resonance and 1HNMR spectroscopy.

Many drugs containing carboxylic acid functional groups are metabolised in vivo to ester glucuronides (1-O-acyl-beta-D-glucopyranuronates) and, of these, a number show a propensity to undergo internal isomerisation via a transacylation process, causing the carboxylic acid moiety to migrate successively to
