Product Information

• Name: (1-Phenylcyclopropyl)methanol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: (1-Phenylcyclopropyl)methanol is an aromatic ketone that can be used in the synthesis of oxazaborolidines. It has been proven to be a good substrate for asymmetric syntheses, which are often used for the development of enantioselective reactions. The mechanism of this reaction is not yet fully understood, but it is thought that the C-O bond in (1-phenylcyclopropyl)methanol reacts with acetophenone to form an intermediate diketone. This intermediate then reacts with an electrophile such as sodium methoxide or methyl iodide to produce the desired product.
