Usage

General Description

"(+)-Isobutyl D-lactate" is a type of chemical compound that is categorized as an ester. Ester is an organic compound made by replacing the hydrogen of an acid by an alkyl or other organic group. It is derived from isobutanol and D-lactic acid and is naturally formed in small amounts during fermentation. One of its key features is its chirality, a property which makes it useful in the field of pharmaceuticals. Chirality can affect the potency and safety profile of drugs. Moreover, it has applications in the production of biodegradable materials, particularly poly(lactic acid), which is used in packaging materials, textiles, and biomedical devices. It is less harmful to the environment as it breaks down into water and carbon dioxide.

Enantioselective hydrogenation of pyruvates over polymer-stabilized and supported platinum nanoclusters

The cinchonidine-modified enantioselective hydrogenation of pyruvates has been studied over polyvinylpyrrolidone-stabilized platinum (PVP-Pt) and the corresponding alumina-supported platinum (Al2O3-Pt) clusters. It is shown that the catalysts with particle size less than 2.0 nm demonstrate >90% enantioselectivity in favor of (R)-lactates. The solvent effect is similar to that over the conventional supported platinum catalyst except for tetrahydrofuran. These colloidal and supported clusters are stable with no obvious loss of activity and enantioselectivity even after 18 months standing in air at room temperature. Molecular mechanics calculations of the modifier- reactant interaction on the platinum surface suggest that it is possible to obtain good enantioselectivity on the small clusters.
