Application

(S)-2-methoxy-2-phenylethanol was employed as chiral probe for the determination of absolute configuration of active (-) enantiomer of amlodipine. 2-Methoxy-2-phenylethanol was also used in the synthesis of optically active 1,4-dihydropyridines.

The active (-) enantiomer of amlodipine was originally reported to have R configuration. This does not concur with other 1,4-dihydropyridines with known absolute configuration. This configuration has now been determined by X-ray structural analysis using (1S)-camphanic acid and (S)-2-methoxy-2-phenylethanol as
Enzymatic resolution of the chiral inductor 2-methoxy-2-phenylethanol.
