Application

(R)-(−)-2-Butanol can be used as a reagent in the synthesis of:
  • 1-[(S)-2-butyl]-3,5 diphenyl-1H-1,2,4 triazole from 3,5 diphenyl-1H-1,2,4 triazole by Mitsunobu reaction.
  • 2-butyl tosylate building block by reacting with toluenesulfonyl chloride.

(R)-(-)-2-Butanol has been used as a freeze drying medium during the long term cryopreservation of smooth muscle cells samples in a freezing container.

Here we report on the gas-phase interactions between protonated enantiopure amino acids (L- and D-enantiomers of Met, Phe, and Trp) and chiral target gases [(R)- and (S)-2-butanol, and (S)-1-phenylethanol] in 0.1-10.0 eV low-energy collisions. Two major processes are seen to

The autonomic nervous system attenuates inflammation through activation of the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR), a pathway termed the cholinergic anti-inflammatory reflex. Interestingly, α7nAChR is expressed on immune cells and platelets, both of which play a crucial role in the
