2-Phenylpropanoic acid (CAS 90-56-8; C9H10O2) is a chiral intermediate synthesized via biocatalytic resolution of racemic mixtures. This enzymatic process offers high enantioselectivity under mild conditions, replacing traditional chemical catalysts to produce optically active precursors essential for pharmaceutical synthesis.
Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas away from oxidizers. Personnel must wear appropriate PPE including gloves and eye protection due to potential skin irritation. Avoid ingestion or inhalation of dust during handling.
