Product Information

• Name: (+)-(1R,2R,5R)-2-Hydroxy-3-pinanone
• Synonyms: (1R,2R,5R)-2-Hydroxy-2,6,6-trimethylbicyclo[3.1.1]heptan-3-one
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: (+)-(1R,2R,5R)-2-Hydroxy-3-pinanone is an organic compound that can be prepared by a kinetic resolution of the racemic mixture of (+)-(1S,2S,5S)-2-hydroxy-3-pinanone. This reaction is performed in two steps: first the racemic mixture is converted to the corresponding chiral acetylacetonate by reaction with acetic anhydride followed by hydrolysis with sodium hydroxide. The pentane reacts with the ring opening of the acetylacetonate to give (+)-(1R,2R,5R)-2-hydroxypinanone and its enantiomer. The nature of this preparative method means that it is not possible to recover (+)-(1R,2R,5R)-2-hydroxypinanone from the reaction products.
