(S)-4-(1-Hydroxyethyl)benzoate

The compound (S)-4-(1-Hydroxyethyl)benzoate is an organic molecule with the following structure:

  • A benzene ring (aromatic ring) as the core structure.
  • A benzoate ester group (–COO–) attached to the benzene ring at the para position (position 4).
  • A hydroxyethyl group (–CH(OH)CH₃) attached to the benzene ring at the 1-position (relative to the ester group).
  • The (S) designation indicates that the molecule has a chiral center at the hydroxyethyl group, and it is in the S-configuration (based on the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority rules).

Structure:

       COO-R
        |
  C₆H₄—CH(OH)CH₃
        |
       (S)
  • R represents the ester group’s alkyl or aryl substituent.

Key Features:

  1. Chirality: The molecule is chiral due to the presence of the hydroxyethyl group (–CH(OH)CH₃) at the 1-position. The (S) configuration indicates the spatial arrangement of the substituents around the chiral center.
  2. Ester Functional Group: The benzoate ester (–COO–) is a key functional group, making this compound an ester derivative of benzoic acid.
  3. Hydroxyl Group: The hydroxyl group (–OH) on the ethyl chain adds polarity and reactivity to the molecule.

Applications:

  • This compound could be used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of chiral molecules or as an intermediate in pharmaceutical or fine chemical production.
  • It may also have applications in asymmetric catalysis or as a building block for more complex structures.
