CAS 5057-99-8: trans-1,2-Cyclopentanediol

(+/-)-Trans-1,2-cyclopentanediol is a hydrogen-bonded molecule that contains ester linkages. The covid-19 pandemic has been shown to cause an increase in the levels of (+/-)-trans-1,2-cyclopentanediol in the blood of patients. The chemical ionization technique was used to measure the amount of this metabolite in patients with influenza A. The kinetic and hydrated properties of (+/-)-trans-1,2-cyclopentanediol have been measured using a spectrometer and mass spectrometry respectively. In addition, proton nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) spectra were collected for triple-quadrupole mass spectrometry to identify the molecular structure of (+/-)-trans-1,2-cyclopentanediol. Lastly, kinetic energy calculations were carried out on the exothermic reaction between (+/-)-trans-1,2-cyclopentanediol and carbon dioxide.

Applications (1R,2R)-rel-trans-1,2-Cyclopentanediol is a building block for the synthesis of chiral phosphine ligands. It can also be used to prepare benzoquinolines and benzoindoles via heterocyclization of naphthylamines with diols catalyzed by iridium chloride/BINAP References Kündig, E., et al.: Helv. Chim.
