Product Information

• Name: (R)-(+)-3-Butyn-2-ol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: (R)-(+)-3-Butyn-2-ol is a chiral alcohol that can be used as a substrate for the synthesis of antibiotics. It has been shown to inhibit phosphatases in vivo and can be used as an inhibitor for phosphatases. (R)-(+)-3-Butyn-2-ol can also be used to synthesize glyoxylate, which is an intermediate for the production of antibiotics. This compound has been shown to have optical activity and stereoselectivity. The synthesis of (R)-(+)-3-butyn-2-ol starts with the alkylation reaction between acetylene and formaldehyde, followed by a cross-coupling reaction with bromoethane and lithium aluminum hydride. The final step is the hydrolysis of furfural using water or lipase, yielding (R)-(+)-3-butyn-2-ol.
