Ethyl S-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutyrate is a chiral intermediate used in organic synthesis, primarily for pharmaceutical manufacturing. The molecular formula is C6H11ClO3 with CAS number 102558-76-9. Production typically involves asymmetric hydrogenation or enzymatic resolution of ethyl chlorobutyrate derivatives.
Store in sealed containers under inert atmosphere at 2-8°C to prevent hydrolysis. Use appropriate PPE including nitrile gloves and safety goggles due to skin irritation risks. Not approved for direct clinical use; strictly industrial grade only.
