CAS 1636-34-6: 2,3-Diphenyl-2,3-butanediol

Description: 2,3-Diphenyl-2,3-butanediol, with the CAS number 1636-34-6, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features two phenyl groups attached to a butanediol backbone. This compound is a diol, meaning it contains two hydroxyl (-OH) functional groups, which contribute to its reactivity and solubility properties. Typically, it appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is known for its potential applications in organic synthesis and as a chiral building block in pharmaceuticals. The presence of the phenyl groups enhances its hydrophobic characteristics, while the hydroxyl groups can engage in hydrogen bonding, influencing its solubility in various solvents. Additionally, 2,3-Diphenyl-2,3-butanediol may exhibit interesting optical properties due to its chiral nature, making it valuable in asymmetric synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
