(R)-1-(p-tolyl)ethan-1-ol is a chiral alcohol that can be synthesized through the reduction of p-chlorobenzaldehyde with sodium borohydride. It has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on bacterial growth, but not mammalian cells. The hydroxyl group on the (R)-1-(p-tolyl)ethan-1-ol molecule interacts with the cell membrane, which increases its permeability and thus allows for a greater substrate concentration. This reaction is stereoselective, so only one enantiomer will react with the enzyme. Preparative methods are employed to separate this compound from other enantiomers and purify it for use in biological experiments.
