(R)-(+)-1-Phenylethanol Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Colorless to light yellow liqui

Uses

(R)-(+)-1-Phenylethanol is used in the synthesis of optically active products. It is also useful in the determination of enantiomeric purity and for resolutions of acids.

Definition

ChEBI: (R)-1-phenylethanol is the (R)-enantiomer of 1-phenylethanol. It has a role as an animal metabolite. It is an enantiomer of a (S)-1-phenylethanol.

General Description

(R)-1-Phenylethanol can be prepared from ethylbenzene via enantioselective hydroxylation of ethylbenzene catalyzed by peroxygenase enzyme.
