Product Information

• Name: 4-[(1S)-1-Hydroxyethyl]phenol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-[(1S)-1-Hydroxyethyl]phenol is a compound that is metabolized to 4-hydroxymandelic acid and 4-hydroxyphenylglycine by microbial metabolism. This chemical has been shown to be a substrate for the enzyme dehydrogenase, which may be flavoprotein or polyacrylamide gel. The regiospecificity of the reaction was determined through enantiomer analysis of vanillyl alcohol as the product. Enantiomers were separated using a short-chain alkyl ester, although other solvents such as acetone may be used. The eugenol isomers are present in the reaction products and they can be determined by gas chromatography or liquid chromatography with a mass spectrometer detector. 4-[(1S)-1-Hydroxyethyl]phenol has an optimum pH of 7 and its reactivity increases at pH values below 6.5 or above 8.5.
