What is Methyl (R)-(+)-lactate?
Methyl (R)-(+)-lactate is methyl lactate with R configuration. It is derived from (R) – lactic acid. It is an enantiomer of (s) – methyl lactate.
Methyl (R)-(+)-lactate, also known as methyl lactate, is an organic compound with the molecular formula CH3CH(OH)CO2CH3. It is the methyl ester of lactic acid. Colorless liquid is the simplest chiral ester. As a natural derivative, it is easily obtained in the form of a single enantiomer.
The compound has mild properties, biodegradability and water solubility. It can be used as a multifunctional reagent for preparing cellulose acetate (CA) membrane. It can also be used as an intermediate in the production of a variety of compounds, polymers and derivatives. This product has been enhanced to “safer solvents and additives” methyl (r)-(+)-lactate.
Methyl (R)-(+)-lactate Uses
- Methyl (R) – (+) – lactate is the solvent of cellulose nitrate, cellulose acetate, cellulose acetylbutyrate and cellulose levulinate.
- Methyl (R) – (+) – lactate is used in the manufacture of varnishes and coatings. It has high tolerance to diluents, good defect resistance and whitening resistance.
- The synthesis of 1,2-propanediol from methyl lactate using macho catalyst has been commercialized.
- On the skin, methyl (R) – (+) – lactate will leave a refreshing and cool feeling. This ingredient has a pleasant and soothing mint flavor. Add it to your morning routine to wake up immediately. Like menthol, menthol lactate gently relieves itching and irritation.
Methyl (R) – (+) – lactate can be used as raw material for asymmetric preparation:
- Neomethylmycin, a macrolide containing 12 membered macrolide, is used as a potent biological agent.
- PM toxin A.
It can also be used as a chiral pool together with D – (-) – tartaric acid for the separation of monomers A and B through Trost rychnovsky alkyne rearrangement, Horner Wadsworth Emmons Olefination and stereoselective total synthesis of Corey Bakshi Shibata.
