General description
The kinetic resolution of racemic 2-phenylbutyryl chloride by sterically hindered chiral secondary alcohols has been evaluated. 2-Phenylbutyryl chloride reacts with 4-methoxybenzoyl chloride catalyzed by PdBr(Ph)(PPh3)2 to yield 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-phenyl-2-buten-1-one.
Application
(R)-(-)-2-phenylbutyryl chloride may be employed as chiral reagent for the determination of dopamine and dopamine-derived salsolinol and norsalsolinol in human brain by GC-MS method. Chiral (S)-(+)-2-phenylbutyryl chloride may be used as derivatization reagent for the hydroxyl groups during the GC-MS assay for the enantiomers of 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-butanediol, 1,3-pentanediol and their corresponding hydroxyacids in biological fluids.
