L-Phenylglycinol (Cat No.: R005504) is a chiral amino alcohol derived from phenylglycine, featuring a phenyl ring attached to a carbon bearing both an amino and a hydroxyl group. It is widely used as a versatile building block and chiral auxiliary in asymmetric synthesis, especially for preparing enantiomerically pure pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. Its ability to form stable complexes with metal catalysts enhances stereoselectivity in chemical reactions. L-Phenylglycinol is also employed in synthesizing ligands, natural product derivatives, and biologically active molecules with precise stereocontrol.
