Description

Ethyl L-(+)-Mandelate is a carbonyl that is synthesized by the enantioselective addition of an organometallic reagent to α-acetoxybenzaldehyde. This reaction produces chiral products in high enantiomeric excess. The carbonyl is then converted to the corresponding Grignard reagent, which undergoes cross-coupling with an electrophile to produce a single diastereomer. The stereoselectivity of this reaction depends on the choice of nucleophile and solvent. Ethyl L-(+)-Mandelate can be used as a chelation control agent for metal ions such as iron or chromium.
