(S)-(+)-Phenyl-1,2-ethanediol

Description:
(S)-(+)-Phenyl-1,2-ethanediol, also known as (S)-phenyl glycol, is an organic compound characterized by its chiral structure, which includes a phenyl group attached to a two-carbon chain with hydroxyl (-OH) groups on each carbon. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, floral odor, and it is soluble in water and organic solvents, making it versatile in various applications. The presence of two hydroxyl groups allows for hydrogen bonding, contributing to its solubility and reactivity. As a chiral molecule, it exhibits optical activity, rotating plane-polarized light to the right, which is a significant property in the context of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals, where enantiomeric purity can influence biological activity. (S)-(+)-Phenyl-1,2-ethanediol is often utilized in the synthesis of other organic compounds and may serve as a chiral building block in asymmetric synthesis. Its safety profile indicates that it should be handled with care, as with many organic solvents and chemicals.
