• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-(2-Ethylphenyl)acetic acid is a compound that is used to synthesize antihistamines. It has been shown to have potent antihistaminic activity in both the ileum and the stomach, which is stereoselective for the S(+) enantiomer. The 2-ethylphenyl group of this compound can be susceptible to alkylation by organometallic reagents such as piperidine, which can lead to side reactions with other groups on the molecule or other molecules in the reaction mixture. The 2-ethylphenyl group is also chiral, meaning that it has two different forms, or configurations.
