Rac 4-Hydroxy-3-methoxyphenylethylene Glycol-d3 is a glyoxylate that is used for the synthesis of epinephrine and norepinephrine. Rac 4-Hydroxy-3-methoxyphenylethylene Glycol-d3 can be prepared by the alkylation of racemic catechol with glyoxylic acid. Rac 4-Hydroxy-3-methoxyphenylethylene Glycol-d3 can be quantified by gas chromatography, which separates Rac 4-Hydroxy-3-methoxyphenylethylene Glycol from other racemic compounds. Rac 4-Hydroxy-3-methoxyphenylethylene Glycol can also be synthesized from mandelic acid by hydrogenolysis using sodium borohydride and diborane in methanol or ethanol. Rac 4-Hydroxy--phenylethylene
