Floctafenine is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).
Synthesis
Floctafenine can be synthesized beginning with the conversion of ortho-trifluoromethyl aniline (1) to a
phosphorus oxychloride. The displacement of chlorine with methyl anthranilate (4) then affords the coupled intermediate (5). An ester interchange of that product with glycerol
leads to the glyceryl ester, floctafenine (6).
