Product Information
Ethyl 2-(2-Chlorophenyl)-2-oxoacetate is a chemical compound that is used as a biocatalyst in the production of ethanol. The yield and efficiency of the process are programmable, which can be adjusted by manipulating the concentrations of reactants. Ethyl 2-(2-Chlorophenyl)-2-oxoacetate also has optical activity that occurs as a result of its stereochemistry. It is produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae, an organism that is used in the fermentation of sugar to produce ethanol. This compound can be produced from xylose, which can be obtained from wood or agricultural waste products. The use of this compound for the production of ethanol would reduce dependence on fossil fuels and provide an environmentally friendly alternative to gasoline for transportation needs.
