Description

(S)-2-Cyclohexyl-2-hydroxy-phenylacetic acid is a chiral compound that can be prepared by an innovative, high yield, and stereospecifically configurational synthesis. The method involves the hydrogenolysis of glyceraldehyde to get 2-cyclohexenone, followed by the oxidation of 2-cyclohexenone with hydrogen peroxide to get 2-cyclohexyl-2-hydroxybenzoic acid. This acid was then hydrolyzed with lithium hydroxide in ethanol to get the desired product. (S)-2-Cyclohexyl-2-hydroxybenzoic acid can be used as a precursor for oxybutynin, which is a drug used to treat urinary incontinence.
