(±)-Methyl mandelate

Description:

(±)-Methyl mandelate is an organic compound that belongs to the class of mandelic acid esters. It is characterized by its chiral nature, existing as a racemic mixture of two enantiomers, which are the (R)- and (S)- forms. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, fruity odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. The compound is often used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and as a chiral building block in organic chemistry due to its ability to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and asymmetric synthesis. Additionally, (±)-Methyl mandelate can serve as a precursor for the production of other mandelic acid derivatives. Its properties, such as boiling point and density, can vary depending on the specific conditions and purity of the sample. As with many organic compounds, proper handling and safety precautions are essential due to potential health hazards associated with exposure.

Methyl DL-Mandelate

CAS: 4358-87-6

Methyl DL-Mandelate is a chiral compound that has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on the growth of bacteria. It binds to bacterial cell surface receptors and causes lysis by creating holes in the membrane. Methyl DL-Mandelate also has high resistance against wastewater treatment; it is not removed during conventional treatment processes and can be used in the treatment of infectious diseases. The mechanism for this inhibition is unknown, but it has been hypothesized that methyl DL-Mandelate acts as an adsorbent, which blocks or inhibits the binding sites of other antibiotics or toxins.
