S(+)-2-chloro-1-phenylethanol

Description:
S(+)-2-chloro-1-phenylethanol is an organic compound characterized by its chiral structure, featuring a chlorine atom and a phenyl group attached to a two-carbon alcohol backbone. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is known for its optical activity due to the presence of a chiral center, which allows it to rotate plane-polarized light. It has a relatively low solubility in water but is more soluble in organic solvents, making it useful in various chemical applications. The presence of the chlorine atom contributes to its reactivity, allowing it to participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. S(+)-2-chloro-1-phenylethanol is often utilized in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, where its chiral nature can be advantageous for creating enantiomerically pure compounds. Safety data indicates that, like many chlorinated compounds, it should be handled with care due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns.
