(R)-(-)-2-bromo-1-phenylethanol

Description:

(R)-(-)-2-bromo-1-phenylethanol, with the CAS number 76116-20-6, is an organic compound characterized by its chiral structure, which includes a bromine 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, allowing it to rotate plane-polarized light. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. The presence of the bromine atom makes it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of other brominated compounds or in substitution reactions. Additionally, the phenyl group contributes to its aromatic properties, which can influence its reactivity and interactions with other chemical species. As a chiral molecule, it may exhibit different biological activities compared to its enantiomer, making it of interest in pharmaceutical applications. Proper handling and storage are essential due to its potential reactivity and toxicity.
