(S)-(+)-4-Phenyl-2-butanol is an organic compound characterized by its chiral nature, which is indicated by the (S)- designation. This compound features a butanol backbone with a phenyl group attached to the fourth carbon, contributing to its unique properties. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is known for its pleasant floral odor, making it useful in the fragrance industry. The compound is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic phenyl group. Its chirality allows it to exhibit different biological activities compared to its enantiomer, making it of interest in pharmaceuticals and chemical synthesis. The compound can participate in various chemical reactions, including oxidation and reduction, and is often used as a chiral building block in organic synthesis. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as with many organic solvents, due to potential irritant properties.

(S)-4-Phenylbutan-2-ol

4-Phenyl-2-butanone (4PB) is a versatile building block for synthesis of optically active compounds. 4PB is a nucleophile that can be used in the desulfurization of methyl ketones and in the stereoselective synthesis of asymmetric compounds. The enantiopure form of 4PB can be used as an intermediate for the production of amines, which are used as pharmaceuticals or building blocks for many other organic molecules. Kinetic studies have shown that 4PB reacts with oxygen nucleophiles at a rate that is second order with respect to both reactants, while it has been found to react with carbonyl reductants at first order with respect to 4PB and zero order with respect to the reducing agent.
