L-Norvalinol is a synthetic compound that is used in organic chemistry. It has been synthesized from the reaction of L-phenylalanine and 2-bromopropane. This compound is often used as a starting material for other chemicals, such as telaprevir, an antiviral drug. L-Norvalinol has been shown to be able to catalyze the desymmetrization of 1,2-diols, which are compounds that contain two hydroxyl groups on adjacent carbon atoms. This process can be performed using natural enzymes or by using biocatalysis with L-norvalinol.
