Product Information

• Name: (R)-1-(2-Chlorophenyl)ethanol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: (R)-1-(2-Chlorophenyl)ethanol is a chiral alcohol that is used in the production of hexane. It has been shown to be an enantioselective dehydrogenase substrate, and catalyzes the conversion of hexane to cyclohexane. The (R) stereoisomer of this compound is more reactive than its (S) counterpart and has a higher turnover frequency. The (R)-1-(2-chlorophenyl)ethanol can be used as an arene for the preparation of diastereomers, which have different physical properties such as solubility and melting points. This compound also has operational significance because it can be used in the dry weight optimization of pharmaceuticals.
