Product Information

• Name: (S)-1-Phenyl-2-propanol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: (S)-1-Phenyl-2-propanol is a chiral, enantiopure alcohol that is used as a substrate for the preparation of various drugs. It can be prepared by the reduction of (R)-1-phenyl-2-propanol with sodium borohydride. To obtain the desired product, high substrate concentrations are required. Molecular modeling and bioreactor studies have shown that this process can also be carried out in cells. Subtilis sps. were found to be suitable for this process due to their ability to synthesize (S)-1-phenyl-2-propanol from 6-phosphate and l-tert-leucine in a stepwise manner. The use of subtilis sps. may reduce the cost and time needed for production of (S)-1-phenyl-2-propanol because it does not require expensive starting materials or purification steps.END>>
