CAS 75968-40-0

(R)-1-(4-Chlorophenyl)ethanol

Description:

(R)-1-(4-Chlorophenyl)ethanol, with the CAS number 75968-40-0, is an organic compound characterized by its chiral structure, which includes a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a secondary carbon atom. This compound features a 4-chlorophenyl group, indicating the presence of a chlorine atom substituted on the phenyl ring, which can influence its chemical reactivity and physical properties. The chirality of the molecule means it exists in two enantiomeric forms, with the (R)-configuration being one of them, which can have distinct biological activities and interactions. Typically, compounds like this may exhibit moderate solubility in polar solvents due to the hydroxyl group, while the aromatic ring contributes to hydrophobic characteristics. The presence of the chlorine atom can enhance the compound's lipophilicity and may also affect its pharmacological properties. Such compounds are often of interest in medicinal chemistry and may serve as intermediates in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals.

(R)-1-(4-Chlorophenyl)ethanol is a chiral alcohol that can be used in the synthesis of enantiopure compounds. The racemic mixture of this alcohol is not suitable for use as a substrate in asymmetric synthesis because it has no optical activity. This alcohol is oxidized by dehydrogenase enzymes to form (S)-1-(4-chlorophenyl)ethanol and an H radical, which then reacts with O2 to form HO2 and (R)-1-(4-chlorophenyl)ethyl radical. The reactivity of these two radicals will depend on the concentration of the substrate and the presence of other substrates that compete with it for binding sites on the enzyme. In general, short-chain alcohols are more easily hydrated than longer chain alcohols. The reaction rate also increases with temperature, although at high temperatures, substrate binding and product release may become limiting factors.
