Propyl (2S)-2-hydroxypropanoate

Description:

Propyl (2S)-2-hydroxypropanoate, with the CAS number 53651-69-7, is an ester derived from propanol and 2-hydroxypropanoic acid (also known as lactic acid). This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, fruity odor, characteristic of many esters. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic propyl group. The presence of the hydroxyl group in its structure contributes to its potential as a flavoring agent and fragrance in various applications, including food and cosmetics. Additionally, the stereochemistry indicated by the (2S) configuration suggests that it has specific optical activity, which may influence its reactivity and interactions in biological systems. Propyl (2S)-2-hydroxypropanoate may also be involved in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and hydrolysis, making it relevant in organic synthesis and industrial processes. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.

Propyl (2S)-2-hydroxypropanoate

CAS: 53651-69-7

Propyl (2S)-2-hydroxypropanoate is a neurotoxic chemical that can cause hydrolysis or long-term exposure to lead to neurotoxicity. Exposure to this chemical can lead to neurobehavioral changes and encephalopathy, which may be due to its effects on the central nervous system. It has been shown that propyl (2S)-2-hydroxypropanoate can also interfere with lactic acid metabolism, leading to an accumulation of lactic acid in the body. This accumulation may contribute to a variety of neurological symptoms seen in patients who have ingested this chemical, including psychoactive effects and organic solvent syndrome.
