Description

(2R,3S)-3-Amino-2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropanoic acid hydrochloride is an organic compound that is used in the manufacture of taxol, an anticancer drug. It is synthesized by reacting chloroacetic acid with a metal hydroxide, such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. The reaction proceeds spontaneously to form the enantiomerically pure (2R,3S) form and unreacted (2S,3R) form. The (2R,3S) enantiomer has been found to be more reactive than the (2S,3R) form. Quaternary ammonium salts are formed when the (2R,3S) enantiomer reacts with quaternary ammonium compounds such as benzyltrimethylammonium chloride. This compound can also be used in catalytic reactions to produce drugs such as carbapenems and pen
