(R)-2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutanoic acid; CAS No.: 29678-81-7; (R)-2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutanoic acid. PROPERTIES: This chiral hydroxy-substituted phenylbutanoic acid features molecular formula C??H??O? with molecular weight 192.20 g/mol. Exists as a crystalline solid. Soluble in polar protic solvents like methanol and water. Melting point approximately 110-115 C. Exhibits IR absorption for carboxylic acid and hydroxyl groups. Thermogravimetric analysis shows decomposition above 180 C under nitrogen. Store at 2-8 C in sealed containers. May cause skin irritation and eye damage. APPLICATIONS: As a chiral carboxylic acid, (R)-2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutanoic acid is used in pharmaceutical synthesis. It serves as key intermediate in constructing beta-blockers, where the hydroxyl group forms hydrogen bonds with target proteins. Also used in materials science as monomer for preparing polyhydroxy acids with enhanced thermal stability.
