3-Chloropropiophenone, 96%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

3-Chloropropiophenone was used in the asymmetric reduction of (S)-3-chloro-1-phenylpropanol using preheated Candida utilis cells immobilized in calcium alginate gel beads. It was also used in the synthesis of (R)-3-chloro-1-phenyl-1-propanol via asymmetric reduction using in-situ generated oxazaborolidine catalyst derived from (S)-α,α-diphenylprolinol. It is a precursor of phenyl vinyl ketone.
