(R)-(+)-Glycidol Chemical Properties, Uses, Production

Synthesis

Under stirring, NaOH (36.19 g, 0.905 mol) was slowly added to a solution of chlorodiol (100.0 g, 0.905 mol) and ethanol (200 mL) at 0-5°C. The reaction mixture was then stirred at 0-5°C for 2 hours. After the reaction was complete, the reaction mixture was filtered to remove the insoluble solid precipitate. The filtrate was concentrated under vacuum at 40°C to obtain the target product (R)-(+)-Glycidol (note that (R)-(+)-Glycidol has a low boiling point and requires low-temperature treatment during vacuum concentration in post-processing).

Chemical Properties

Colorless to light yellow liqui

Uses

(R)-(+)-Glycidol may be used in the following synthesis:

  • heteroarylpropane-2,3-diols, useful for combinatorial oligomer synthesis
  • enantiomerically pure (2S,3S)- and (2S,3R)-threoninol and -hydroxyphenylalaninol
  • 2-amino-1,4-anhydro-pentitol and 3-amino-1,5-anhydro-4-deoxy-hexitol with the arabino configuration
  • (S)-4-tosyloxymethyl-2-oxazolidinone, required for the synthesis of protected amino alcohol derivatives
  • 1-(S)-[3-hydroxy-2-(phosphonomethoxy)propyl]cytosine [(S)-HPMPC]
  • chiral building block used to construct an epoxyvinyl iodide intermediate in a synthesis of a furanocembrane, a marine natural product

Uses

(R)-(+)-Glycidol can be used to construct chiral building blocks of epoxyvinyl iodide intermediates in the synthesis of furanocembrane, a marine natural product.

Definition

ChEBI: (R)-glycidol is a glycidol. It is functionally related to a (R)-1,2-epoxypropane. It is an enantiomer of a (S)-glycidol.

General Description

Enantioselective esterification of (R)-(+)-glycidol with n-butyric acid in organic media using hybrid gel-entrapped lipase on Celite has been reported.

Purification Methods

[S(-)-isomer, § also available on polymer support, has b 49-50o/7mm, 66-67o/19mm, [ ] D -1 5o(neat)], [R(+)-isomer has b 56 -5 6 . 5o/11mm, d 4 1.117, n D 1.429, [ ] D +15o (neat)]. Purify glycidol by fractional distillation.
