What is (R)-(-)-2-Methoxy-2-phenylethanol?
The Uses of (R)-(-)-2-Methoxy-2-phenylethanol
(R)-(-)-2-Methoxy-2-phenylethanol can be employed as a precursor to prepare:
- (?)-3-[(2R)-2-Methoxy-2-phenylethoxy]phenol, a key intermediate for the synthesis of C4-symmetric tetraalkoxy[4]resorcinarenes using boron trifluoride catalyst.
- N-substituent of the 6,7-benzomorphan scaffold that is used as a potent opioid receptor agonist.
- Sodium methoxyphenylethoxide (Na-MPE), which is used as an oxy-initiator in the anionic polymerization of n-hexyl isocyanate.
