Product Information

• Name: 4-Chloromandelic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Chloromandelic acid is an organic compound that is an important intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and other organic compounds. It can be used as a ligand to form complexes with transition metals, such as Mo(VI), which are used to catalyze hydrogenation reactions. 4-Chloromandelic acid binds to the substrate binding site on the enzyme through hydrogen bonding interactions. This binding causes a conformational change in the enzyme that inhibits its activity. The kinetic data for 4-chloromandelic acid was determined using trifluoroacetic acid as the solvent and supercritical carbon dioxide as the antisolvent. The enantiomer of 4-chloromandelic acid was identified by analytical methods, including gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy.
