Product Information

• Name: (R)-(+)-Diphenyl-2-pyrrolidinemethanol
• Synonyms: (R)-(+)-2-(Diphenylhydroxymethyl)pyrrolidine(R)-Diphenylprolinol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: (R)-(+)-Diphenyl-2-pyrrolidinemethanol is a chiral reagent that is used to catalyze the hydrogenolysis of esters and amides. This reaction yields a mixture of the corresponding alcohol and acid. The reagent can also be used to deprotonate azides, yielding diphenylprolinol. The product can then be hydrolyzed with an alkaline solution to form a methyl ester or an ester hydrochloride. This process is useful for the preparation of chiral alcohols and amines.
