Product Information
- 3-(4-Fluorophenyl)-2-hydroxypropanenitrile
- 4-Fluorophenyl lactonitrile
- Benzenepropanenitrile, 4-Fluoro-Α-Hydroxy-
4-Fluorophenyl Lactonitrile is a cross-linked, enantiopure compound that is used as a catalyst in the synthesis of 4-methoxybenzaldehyde. The molecule has been immobilized and covalently linked to an enzyme, which acts as a stationary phase for the reaction. The use of this catalyst allows for the synthesis of 4-methoxybenzaldehyde with high enantioselectivity. The product can be purified by preparative thin layer chromatography or recrystallization.
