(2R)-4-(benzyloxy)butane-1,2-diol

Description:

(2R)-4-(benzyloxy)butane-1,2-diol, with the CAS number 86990-91-2, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes a butane backbone with a hydroxyl group (-OH) at the first and second carbon positions and a benzyloxy group (-O-Ph) at the fourth carbon. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, owing to the presence of hydroxyl groups that can engage in hydrogen bonding. The benzyloxy group enhances its lipophilicity, making it useful in various chemical applications, including as a potential intermediate in organic synthesis and in the pharmaceutical industry. The stereochemistry indicated by the (2R) designation suggests that the compound has specific spatial arrangements that can influence its reactivity and interactions with biological systems. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be taken when handling it, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
