Clinofibrate (INN; trade name Lipoclin) is pharmaceutical drug of the fibrate class that is used for managing hyperlipidemia and associated conditions. [1] It is sold and marketed in Japan. [2]

Chemically, it is a derivative of bisphenol Z. [3]

Synthesis

The condensation between cyclohexanone (1) and phenol (2) gives bisphenol Z (3). [4] This is treated with chloroform and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) in the presence of base. The resulting Bargellini reaction gives clinofibrate (4). [5]
