Application

(S)-(-)-2-Amino-3-phenyl-1-propanol can undergo condensation with 5-nitro­salicylaldehyde to form (S)-2-[(1-benzyl-2-hydroxy­ethyl­imino)meth­yl]-4-nitro­phenol, a new chiral Schiff base. It reacts with substituted salicylaldehydes to form tridentate chiral Schiff base ligands, which can form H-bonded chiral supramolecular metal-organic architectures. It can also be used in the synthesis of an unnatural tripeptide, which can enhance the antimicrobial activity of methicillin against methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
Reacts with nitriles to form oxazolines which are useful in Pd-catalyzed allylic substitution. Also employed in amidation for chiral resolution and NADH modeling.

General description

(S)-(-)-2-Amino-3-phenyl-1-propanol is a chiral amino alcohol.
