(1s-trans)-2-[(phenylmethoxy)methyl]-3-cyclopenten-1-ol is a specialized chiral intermediate used in organic synthesis. Its molecular formula is C13H16O2 and CAS number is 101945-87-9. This compound features a cyclopentenol core with a benzyl ether substituent, typically produced via asymmetric catalysis or enzymatic resolution to ensure high stereoselectivity for pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Store under inert atmosphere at temperatures below -20°C to prevent oxidation. Avoid direct skin contact and inhalation; use appropriate PPE including nitrile gloves and fume hoods during handling due to potential irritant properties.
