CAS 131864-71-6: (S)-1-(2-chlorophenyl)ethanol

(S)-1-(2-Chlorophenyl)ethanol

(S)-1-(2-Chlorophenyl)ethanol is a substrate for the enzyme dehydrogenase, which catalyzes the conversion of (R)-1-(2-chlorophenyl)ethanol to (R)-1-(2-chlorophenyl)propanol. The reaction time for this reaction is dependent on the concentration of the substrate, with high concentrations of (S)-1-(2-chlorophenyl)ethanol requiring a longer reaction time. The product, (R)-1-(2-chlorophenyl)propanol, is an organic chemical that can be used as a model system for studying other reactions involving alcohols. This compound has been shown to be reactive in biological systems and has been found to have symptoms similar to those of Parkinson's disease in mice.

It is an intermediate in organic syntheses and used as a pharmaceutical intermediates. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio.
