(S)-(+)-Mandelic acid（Cat No.:R050911）is a chiral aromatic alpha-hydroxy acid derived from benzaldehyde. Featuring a hydroxyl and carboxylic acid group on the same carbon, it is widely used as a building block in pharmaceutical synthesis, especially for producing enantiomerically pure drugs and intermediates. Its stereochemistry makes it valuable in asymmetric synthesis and resolution processes. Additionally, (S)-(+)-mandelic acid is employed in cosmetic formulations for its exfoliating and antibacterial properties. Its balance of reactivity, chirality, and biocompatibility supports its use in medical, chemical, and personal care applications.
