S-(-)-Mandelonitrile is a chiral intermediate primarily synthesized via enzymatic resolution of racemic mandelonitrile. Its molecular formula is C8H8O2 and CAS number is 6794-10-7.
Requires storage under inert atmosphere at 2-8°C due to hydrolysis risk. Strict PPE mandatory; potential cyanide release upon decomposition limits clinical use without rigorous containment protocols.
