2-[(1-Hydroxypropan-2-yl)oxy]propan-1-ol

CAS: 108-61-2

2-[(1-Hydroxypropan-2-yl)oxy]propan-1-ol is a chiral compound that has two enantiomers. The racemic mixture of this molecule is homochiral, meaning that the two enantiomers are not present in equal amounts. The synthetic route to this compound includes the preparation of aminopropanol by reaction with hydrochloric acid followed by addition of ethylene oxide to produce an acetate ester. This synthesis can be accomplished using a preparative scale or on a laboratory scale. The product is then reacted with chlorine gas to produce 2-[(1-hydroxypropan-2-yl)oxy]propan-1-ol as a single diacetate ester, which can be purified by chromatography and finally recrystallized from methanol. This process generates the desired product in high yield and purity.
