Cyclopropanemethanol, 2-phenyl-, (1R,2R)-rel-

Description:

Cyclopropanemethanol, 2-phenyl-, (1R,2R)-rel- is a chiral organic compound characterized by its cyclopropane ring structure fused with a phenyl group and a hydroxymethyl functional group. This compound features a specific stereochemistry, denoted by the (1R,2R) configuration, indicating the spatial arrangement of its atoms, which is crucial for its chemical behavior and interactions. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. The presence of the cyclopropane ring contributes to its unique reactivity, as cyclopropanes are known for their ring strain, which can lead to various chemical transformations. This compound may be utilized in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or other fine chemicals. Its properties, such as solubility and boiling point, can vary based on the specific conditions and purity of the sample. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be observed when handling it, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.

Formula: C₁₀H₁₂O

((1R,2R)-2-Phenylcyclopropyl)methanol

CAS: 936-98-1

((1R,2R)-2-Phenylcyclopropyl)methanol (PCPM) is a high molecular weight compound that has been found to have carcinogenic properties. It acts as an activator of the human liver enzyme CYP2E1, which is involved in the activation of many pro-carcinogens. PCPM binds to bacterial enzymes and induces fatty acid synthesis in women. This compound is also able to cause skin papillomas in mice and may be responsible for some cases of human skin cancer. The deuterium isotope effect indicates that PCPM is metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes.
