• Synonyms: Propanoic Acid, 2-(4-Ethylphenoxy)-

Description

2-(4-Ethylphenoxy)propanoic acid is a hydrophobic molecule that has been shown to bind to the active site of the enzyme enantioselectively. It is an organic compound that is used in chemical reactions as a chiral building block. It was first synthesized by reacting 4-ethylphenol with propionic acid, which led to the formation of 2-(4-ethylphenoxy)propanoic acid. The reaction rate can be increased by using solvents such as isopropyl alcohol or a lipase. The product obtained depends on the type of substituent present on its hydrocarbon chain, and this can be controlled by changing the steric effects at its substituents. These conformational changes are also affected by temperature and pH levels.
