Uses
3-Phenyl-1-butanol is a reactant with primary alcohol functional group which is oxidized to aldehyde using the nanoparticle-ferrite-palladium catalyst.
General Description
3-Phenyl-1-butanol undergoes biotransformation to aldehydes by oxidation in the presence of
Gluconobacteroxydans DSM 2343. It undergoes enantioselective transesterification reaction with vinyl acetate catalyzed by lipase isolated from
Pseudomonas cepacia.
Synthesis
3-Phenyl-1-butanol is prepared by reduction of the Methylester of
3-Phenylbutyric acid.
