D-Lactic acid-benzyl ester

Description:

D-Lactic acid-benzyl ester is an organic compound characterized by the esterification of D-lactic acid with benzyl alcohol. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic benzyl group. D-Lactic acid itself is a stereoisomer of lactic acid, which is a chiral molecule, and its ester derivative retains this chirality. The compound is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. Its properties, such as boiling point and density, can vary based on the specific conditions and purity of the sample. Additionally, like many esters, it may exhibit reactivity towards hydrolysis under acidic or basic conditions, reverting to its constituent acid and alcohol. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance.

D-Lactic acid benzyl ester

CAS: 74094-05-6

D-Lactic acid benzyl ester is a chiral molecule that can be used as a feedstock for the production of D-lactic acid. It has been shown to catalyze hydrogenation reactions with an enhanced reaction rate and high selectivity when compared to other methods. The catalytic activity of D-lactic acid benzyl ester can be increased by using zeolites or iron catalyst, which are more expensive than the ligand used in this study. In addition, D-lactic acid benzyl ester was found to be more effective at catalysing the reaction between alkenes and hydrogen gas than other known catalysts. These findings indicate that it may be possible to use D-lactic acid benzyl ester as a cost-effective alternative to other catalysts in industrial processes.
