Product Information

• Name: (S)-(+)-1,3-Butanediol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: (S)-(+)-1,3-Butanediol is an organic compound that is classified as a diol. It is a chiral compound and has a stereocenter in the (R) configuration. The molecule can be synthesized by reduction of 1,4-butanediol with lithium aluminum hydride or sodium borohydride. This process involves two steps: dehydrogenation followed by reduction. The product of this reaction is racemic-1,3-butanediol. In one study, the enzyme escherichia coli cells were used to immobilize the alcohol in order to produce a catalyst for asymmetric synthesis. The affinity of these enzymes was found to be dependent on the concentration of butanediol.
