Uses

Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
2-HYDROXY-N-BUTYRIC ACID ETHYL ESTER is used as a synthetic intermediate for the development of antagonists benzofuranylpiperidines and benzothiophenylpiperidines. These compounds have potential applications in the treatment of various medical conditions, including neurological disorders and other diseases.
Used in Agrochemical Industry:
Ethyl 2-Hydroxybutyrate is used as a synthetic intermediate for the preparation of 1,5-diarylpyrazole derivatives with herbicidal activities. These derivatives are essential in the development of new and effective herbicides to control the growth of unwanted plants in agricultural fields, thereby increasing crop yield and productivity.

Direct Conversion of Cellulose into Ethyl Lactate in Supercritical Ethanol-Water Solutions

Biomass-derived ethyl lactate is a green solvent with a growing market as the replacement for petroleum-derived toxic organic solvents. Here we report, for the first time, the production of ethyl lactate directly from cellulose with the mesoporous Zr-SBA-15 silicate catalyst in a supercritical mixture of ethanol and water. The relatively strong Lewis and weak Br?nsted acid sites on the catalyst, as well as the surface hydrophobicity, were beneficial to the reaction and led to synergy during consecutive reactions, such as depolymerization, retro-aldol condensation, and esterification. Under the optimum reaction conditions, μ33 % yield of ethyl lactate was produced from cellulose with the Zr-SBA-15 catalyst at 260 C in supercritical 95:5 (w/w) ethanol/water.

SmI2-INDUCED HIGHLY REGIOSELECTIVE REDUCTION OF α,β-EPOXY ESTERS AND γ,δ-EPOXY-α,β-UNSATURATED ESTERS. AN EFFICIENT ROUTE TO OPTICALLY ACTIVE β-HYDROXY AND δ-HYDROXY ESTERS

α,β-Epoxy esters were rapidly reduced at room temperature to yield β-hydroxy esters with retention of the configurations at the β-carbon atoms by using SmI2-THF-HMPA system in the presence of N,N-dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE).The conditions were successfully applied to the synthesis of vinylogous δ-hydroxy esters.
