Overview
(R)-(-)-2-Phenylglycinol (CAS 56613-80-0) is a chiral building block with molecular formula C8H11NO. Produced via asymmetric hydrogenation or enzymatic resolution, it serves as a critical intermediate for synthesizing complex pharmaceuticals.
Application
- Antibiotic synthesis: Key precursor for beta-lactam derivatives.
- Cardiovascular drugs: Used in manufacturing angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors.
- Agrochemicals: Intermediate for chiral pesticide development.
Precautions
Store under inert atmosphere at 2-8°C. Avoid inhalation and skin contact; wear appropriate PPE. Not for direct human consumption without further processing.
