Chemical Properties
white to light yellow crystal powder.
Uses
A chiral arylalkylamine used as organocatalysts. Used in the synthesis and chiral recognition properties of novel fluorescent chemosensors for amino acid.
Definition
ChEBI: (R)-(-)-2-Phenylglycinol is an aralkylamine.
Preparation
D-Phenylglycinol was synthesized by reducing D-phenylglycine using a sodium borohydride-iodine system. The best reaction conditions were using tetrahydrofuran as the solvent, a 1:2 ratio of D-phenylglycine to sodium borohydride, a hydrolysis temperature of 50°C, and a reaction time of 20 hours.
reaction suitability
reaction type: solution phase peptide synthesis
