Product Information

• Name: (S)-(+)-Epichlorohydrin
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: (S)-(+)-Epichlorohydrin is a chlorohydrin that is used as an industrial chemical. It can be synthesized by reacting benzyl chloride with sodium hydroxide in the presence of water. The reaction mechanism for this process involves nucleophilic addition of the chlorine atom to the carbonyl group, followed by protonation and elimination of hydrogen chloride. The stereoselective synthesis of (S)-(+)-epichlorohydrin is based on asymmetric induction by enantiomers of the reactant. This product has been shown to have a constant pressure kinetic study at 0.1 M in acetonitrile and 0.2 M in dichloromethane with a turnover number of 1.4 × 10 mol/L/s, which is comparable to other synthetic methods for epichlorohydrin. Pharmacokinetic data for this product has been shown to show good bioavailability in rats, with a half-life of 0.
