Applications 2-(Benzyloxy)-1-propanol-d6 is an intermediate in the synthesis of Isotope labelled Propylene Glycol 2-Glucuronide which is a metabolite of propylene glycol, used in the synthesis of N-terminal kinase inhibitors with cellular activity. Acts as a solvent for various pharmaceutical compounds. References Szczepankiewicz, B. et al.: J. Med. Chem., 49, 3563 (2006); Mateus, R. et al.: Int. J. Pharm., 444, 106 (2013);

2-(Benzyloxy)-1-propanol (2-BP) is a glycidol derivative that can be used to produce propanol. 2-BP reacts with Tenofovir, an antiviral drug, in the presence of enolate and organometallic catalysts to form acetaldehyde. 2-BP also reacts with chloride to form alkoxides, which are useful in the synthesis of adenine derivatives. In addition, 2-BP has been shown to react with vinyl ethers and alcohols in the presence of catalysis to form benzyl derivatives.
