Usage

General Description

1-(Furan-2-yl)-2,2-diMethylpropane-1,3-diol, also known as furfuryl alcohol, is a chemical compound that is derived from furfural, a natural constituent of a variety of agricultural byproducts. It is commonly used as a solvent and in the production of resins, polymers, and pharmaceuticals. Furfuryl alcohol has been classified as a potential carcinogen in humans by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and has been found to have toxic effects on the liver and kidneys in animal studies. In addition, it has been listed as a hazardous air pollutant due to its potential to cause respiratory irritation and damage. Therefore, precautions must be taken when handling and using 1-(Furan-2-yl)-2,2-diMethylpropane-1,3-diol to minimize exposure and potential health risks.

Optical enrichment in enzyme-catalyzed resolution of 1-aryl-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediols

Novozym 435 efficiently catalyzed the chemo-, regio-, and enantioselective transesterification of 1-aryl-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediols in different organic solvents with vinyl acetate as the acetyl donor at room temperature. This enzyme-catalyzed chemical

The Design of Resolving Agents. Chiral Cyclic Phosphoric Acids

A systematic investigation has been started with the twofold purpose of synthesizing efficient resolving agents and of gaining an insight into the factors that contribute to successful resolutions.We report on the synthesis, resolution, and application of a number of chiral cyclic phosphoric acids.Among these acids, 4-(2-chlorophenyl)-5,5-dimethyl-2-hydroxy-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinane 2-oxide (7A) is an efficient resolving agent, being useful for the resolution of amines and amino acids.Acid chloride 20 is a useful reagent for the determination of the ee of chiral amines.The absolute configuration of (-)-7A was determined through an X-ray structure determination of its salt with (-)-(p-hydroxyphenyl)glycine.
