5-(Phenylmethoxy)pentanoic Acid

CAS: 64740-39-2

5-(Phenylmethoxy)pentanoic Acid is a chiral, nucleophilic carboxylate used as a buffer. It has the ability to act as a bifunctional catalyst in reactions such as the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, which is a reaction that generally requires harsh conditions. This compound has also been shown to enhance asymmetric alkylation reactions by acting as an anion and stabilizing the transition state of the reaction. 5-(Phenylmethoxy)pentanoic Acid has been shown to be effective in catalysis when used in conjunction with aspirin. The aspirin molecule catalyzes the reaction between 5-(Phenylmethoxy)pentanoic Acid and methyl acrylate, leading to an increase in yield of the desired product.
