2'-Chloroacetophenone Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

clear light yellow to amber liquid

Uses

2''-Chloroacetophenone (cas# 2142-68-9) is a compound useful in organic synthesis.

Uses

2′-Chloroacetophenone was employed as model substrate to investigate the enzymatic performance of Aspergillus terreus and Rhizopus oryzae in enantioselective bioreductions using glycerol as a co-solvent.

General Description

2′-Chloroacetophenone undergoes stereoselective reduction to (R)-2′-chloro-1-phenyl-ethanol by Saccharomyces cerevisiae B5. It is commonly used as lacrimator.
