General description

(R)-(-)-1-Methoxy-2-propanol is a chiral secondary alcohol. It is formed during the hydrolysis of (R)-1-methoxy-2-propyl-acetate in the presence of Candida antarctica lipase B.

Application

(R)-(-)-1-Methoxy-2-propanol can be used as a reactant to prepare:
  • (S)-3-(ethoxycarbonyl)-5-((1-methoxypropan-2-yl)oxy)benzoic acid, a key intermediate to synthesize phenylethyl benzamide derivatives, which can be used as glucokinase activators.
  • Chiral pyrazolopyrimidinone derivatives as potential phosphodiesterase enzyme (PDE5) inhibitors.
  • Aryl or alkyl ethers via etherification reaction.
