Description

(S)-(-)-1-(2-Naphthyl)ethanol is an enantiomer that has been found in the pea plant. It is not known to have any biological function, but it may be involved in the transfer of a chiral group from one molecule to another. (S)-(-)-1-(2-Naphthyl)ethanol has been found to cause cell lysis when immobilized on a solid support and reacted with hydrogen peroxide. The mechanism of this reaction is not yet clear, but it may involve oxidation by reactive oxygen species or catalysis of hydrogen peroxide by an enzyme.
