Description

1-Phenyl-1-butanol (1PB) is a chiral compound that forms hydrogen bonds with itself. It is a colorless liquid that is soluble in organic solvents and has a boiling point of 61 °C. 1PB has been found to inhibit the growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by inhibiting fatty acid synthesis, which may be due to its ability to inhibit β-hydroxylase activity. 1PB also inhibits the growth of some bacteria (e.g., Staphylococcus aureus) by blocking the synthesis of fatty acids, which are important for bacterial cell membrane integrity. The hydroxyl group in 1PB helps it form hydrogen bonds with other molecules, including proteins and DNA strands, which makes it useful for chromatographic separation and as an antioxidant in food preservation.
