General description

rest mainly 3-methyl-1-butanol

Application

(S)-(-)-2-Methylbutanol can be used as a reactant to prepare:
  • Methylbutyl-2-(3-thienyl)acetate (MBTA) by esterification reaction with 3-thiophene acetic acid in the presence of an acid catalyst.
  • (2S)-2-Methyl-1-butanesulfenyl chloride by reacting with thioacetic acid using Mitsunobu reaction conditions.
  • (+)-Violapyrone C and (-)-myxalamide A.
