Product Information
2-Phenylcyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid is an organic solvent that is used in the production of pharmaceuticals. It is a chiral molecule, which means it has two different versions of itself. This compound is often used as a reference to validate the purity of other compounds and demonstrates distinctive magnetic properties. 2-Phenylcyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid can be synthesized by reacting an acid hydrazide with nitrobenzene in the presence of a base. The reaction takes place at temperatures between 110°C and 130°C, which leads to the formation of two erythro diastereoisomers. The racemic mixture can then be separated into its two pure stereoisomers using chromatography or crystallization techniques. 2-Phenylcyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid can also be produced from carboxylic acids expressed by microorganisms such as Pseudomonas putida
