Description:Ethyl L-lactate is a chiral compound that is an ester of benzoic acid and lactic acid. It is used in analytical chemistry as a chiral reagent to determine the optical purity of other compounds. The photochemical properties of ethyl l-lactate are ferroelectric, which means that it exhibits spontaneous electric polarization when exposed to light. This property has been exploited in the development of new materials for use in electronic devices and also for applications such as solar cells and displays. Ethyl l-lactate can also be synthesized by reacting diphenyl ether with amines or phenoxy, providing an asymmetric synthesis route with endpoints such as titration calorimetry and azobenzene.
