1,2-Benzenediol, 4-[1-hydroxy-2-[(1-methylethyl)amino]ethyl]-, (2R,3R)-2,3-dihydroxybutanedioate (1:1)

Description:

The chemical substance known as 1,2-Benzenediol, 4-[1-hydroxy-2-[(1-methylethyl)amino]ethyl]-, (2R,3R)-2,3-dihydroxybutanedioate (1:1), with the CAS number 59-60-9, is commonly referred to as ephedrine. It is an organic compound that features a phenolic structure due to the presence of the benzenediol moiety, which contributes to its reactivity and biological activity. Ephedrine is characterized by its chiral centers, which give rise to its stereoisomeric forms, with the (2R,3R) configuration being biologically active. This compound exhibits sympathomimetic properties, acting as a stimulant and bronchodilator, and is often used in medical applications for the treatment of asthma and as a decongestant. Additionally, it has applications in weight loss and athletic performance enhancement, although its use is regulated in many jurisdictions due to potential side effects and abuse. The compound is soluble in water and has a relatively high melting point, indicative of its solid-state at room temperature.
