(R)-1-methoxy-2-propanol; CAS No.: 4984-22-9; (R)-1-methoxy-2-propanol. PROPERTIES: This chiral methoxy-substituted propanol features molecular formula C?H??O? with molecular weight 90.12 g/mol. Exists as a liquid. Soluble in polar protic solvents like methanol and water. Boiling point approximately 100-105 C. Exhibits IR absorption for hydroxyl group. Thermogravimetric analysis indicates decomposition above 150 C under nitrogen. Store at 2-8 C in sealed containers. May cause skin irritation and eye damage. APPLICATIONS: As a chiral alcohol, (R)-1-methoxy-2-propanol is used in asymmetric synthesis. It serves as key intermediate in constructing chiral auxiliaries for controlling stereochemistry in organic reactions. Also used in pharmaceutical development as solvent for chemical processes requiring specific chirality.
