CAS 125605-10-9: (R)-4-CHLORO-1,3-BUTANEDIOL

Description:(R)-4-Chloro-1,3-butanediol is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a chlorine atom and two hydroxyl (-OH) groups on a four-carbon chain. As a chiral molecule, it exists in two enantiomeric forms, with the (R) configuration indicating the specific spatial arrangement of its atoms. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is soluble in water and various organic solvents, which enhances its utility in chemical synthesis and applications. The presence of hydroxyl groups makes it a potential candidate for reactions such as esterification and etherification, while the chlorine atom can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. (R)-4-Chloro-1,3-butanediol may be used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. However, like many chlorinated compounds, it should be handled with care due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns. Proper safety measures and regulations should be followed when working with this substance.
