(-)-Corey lactone benzoate is a chiral building block synthesized via esterification of (-)-corey lactone with benzoyl chloride. This intermediate features the molecular formula C16H18O4 and CAS No. 52976-88-0, serving as a critical precursor for polyketide synthesis.
Store under inert atmosphere at -20°C to prevent hydrolysis. Use appropriate PPE including nitrile gloves and safety goggles due to potential skin irritation and respiratory sensitivity during handling.
