Product Information

• Name: 2-(Benzyloxy)-1-propanol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-(Benzyloxy)-1-propanol (2-BP) is a glycidol derivative that can be used to produce propanol. 2-BP reacts with Tenofovir, an antiviral drug, in the presence of enolate and organometallic catalysts to form acetaldehyde. 2-BP also reacts with chloride to form alkoxides, which are useful in the synthesis of adenine derivatives. In addition, 2-BP has been shown to react with vinyl ethers and alcohols in the presence of catalysis to form benzyl derivatives.
