Ethyl (3S)-3-Hydroxybutanoate
Ethyl (3S)-3-hydroxybutanoate is an organic compound with the following structure:
- Ethyl group: ( \text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{O} )- (attached to the carbonyl carbon)
- (3S)-3-Hydroxybutanoate: A butanoate (4-carbon chain) with a hydroxyl group (-OH) at the 3rd carbon in the S-configuration.
Structure:
[
\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{O}-\text{C}(=\text{O})-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}(\text{OH})-\text{CH}_3
]
Key Features:
- Stereochemistry: The hydroxyl group at the 3rd carbon is in the S-configuration (indicating the spatial arrangement of atoms).
- Functional Groups:
- Ester (( \text{COO} )): Formed by the reaction of a carboxylic acid and an alcohol.
- Hydroxyl (( \text{OH} )): A polar group that can participate in hydrogen bonding.
- Chirality: The molecule is chiral due to the presence of the stereocenter at the 3rd carbon.
Applications:
- It is commonly used in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of chiral compounds.
- It may serve as a precursor for pharmaceuticals, fragrances, or other fine chemicals.
