CAS 133082-13-0: (S)-(+)-1-(2-chlorophenyl)-1,2-ethanediol

(1S)-1-(2-Chlorophenyl)ethane-1,2-diol is a chiral molecule that is used as an enantiomerically pure building block in organic synthesis. It can be synthesized by the reduction of the corresponding ketone using a dehydrogenase. The enantioselectivity of this reaction depends on the concentration of the substrate and cosolvent, which are both optimized to give the desired product with high efficiency. The reductases used in this reaction are efficient at catalyzing the conversion of carbonyls to alcohols and aromatic ketones to hydrocarbons. This process also requires a reductase that is active at high temperatures. The enzyme subtilis escherichia coli glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) has been shown to be capable of reducing many substrates, such as aromatic ketones, carbonyls, and vicinal diols.
