The Uses of (R)-(-)-Phenylsuccinic acid
(R)-Phenylsuccinic Acid is an intermediate used in the preparation of optically active succinic acid derivatives used as hypoglycemic agents.
Definition
ChEBI: 2-Phenylsuccinic acid is a member of benzenes and a monocarboxylic acid.
Purification Methods
Purify the acids by re-precipitation from alkali and recrystallisation from H2O. [Naps & Johns J Am Chem Soc 62 2450 1940, Fredga & Matell Bull Soc Chim Belg 62 47 1953, Wren & Williams J Chem Soc 109 572 1916.] The racemate [635-51-8] has m 166-168o, 168o after recrystallisation from H2O or MeCN. Its S-benzylisothiuronium salt has m 164-165o (from EtOH) [Griediger & Pedersen Acta Chem Scand 9 1425 1955]. [Beilstein 9 IV 3351.]
