Abstract:Objective: To synthesis of the antiplatelet drug triflusal. Method: Triflusal was prepared from 4-trifluoro methyl salicylic acid by one step. Result: Its structure was confirmed by NMR, MS, IR, EA. The total yield of triflusal with the purity of 99.5% by HPLC was 65.4%. Conclusion: The synthetic route for triflusal was simple, feasible and convenient for industrial manufacture.
