CAS 152142-03-5: 1,2-Ethanediol, 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-, (1R)-

(1R)-1-(4-Chlorophenyl)-1,2-ethanediol

(1R)-1-(4-Chlorophenyl)ethane-1,2-diol is a chiral molecule that can be found in the racemic form. It is an enantioselective reagent that is used for the hydrolysis of styrene oxide and epoxide. The (1R)-enantiomer has been shown to be more effective than its counterpart in terms of hydrolysis. This compound can be used in bioconversion processes where it is used as a substrate by recombinant bacteria to produce enantiopure (1S,5S)-quinolinium bromide.
