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.

The production of butanediol from renewable feedstocks such as biomass or sugar cane offers many benefits over traditional fossil fuels such as petroleum and natural gas. One benefit is that it does not produce any greenhouse gases during combustion. In addition
