Description

1-(4-Chlorophenyl)ethanol is a chemical compound that is used as a catalyst in organic synthesis. It outperforms the most common catalyst, acetone cyanohydrin, and is more stable under high temperatures. 1-(4-Chlorophenyl)ethanol can be reused many times without losing its catalytic activity. In addition to its use as an industrial catalyst, 1-(4-Chlorophenyl)ethanol also has applications in analytical chemistry such as liquid chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography. This compound has been shown to have chiral properties and can be used for the synthesis of drugs with desired enantiomeric purity.
