Description

(R)-2-PHENOXYPROPIONIC ACID is a reactive chemical that is used in process optimization to produce enantiopure amines. It is synthesized by the stereoselective addition of phenyl chlorides to aldehydes and ketones. The (R) form of 2-phenoxypropionic acid has been shown to be the most efficient method for the synthesis of amines with high yields, as well as being an efficient method for the production of amino acids. This compound can catalyze the decarboxylation of carboxylic acids, which may result in a more efficient synthesis of hydrocarbons. Process optimization also includes kinetic studies on (R)-2-phenoxypropionic acid and chloride ions, which have shown that this compound is reactive at room temperature with rates comparable to those found in solution at higher temperatures. The reaction mechanism for this compound involves the formation of an acid complex with two equivalents of HCl
