Application

(S)-(−)-2-Methylbutanol can be used to prepare:
  • (S)-(−)-2-Methyl-1-butyloxy carbonyl amino hexyl isocyanate (MBI), which is used to synthesize isocyanate copolymers.
  • Chiral alkoxynaphathoic acid derivatives having liquid crystalline properties.
  • 3,4-Bis[(S)-2-methylbutoxy]thiophene, a key intermediate for the synthesis of polythiophenes.
