Chemistry & industry
Applications
Uses(R)-(-)-Mandelic acid, is used as a antiseptic ingredient particularly against urinary tract infections.Mandelic acid and its derivatives are used to apply the dual activities as an antibacterial agent and as an antiaging agent. It is used as an intermediate for the synthesis of target molecules for other applications.
UsesAntiseptic (urinary).
Uses(R)-()-Mandelic acid can be used:As a chiral acid in the separation of diastereomeric salts for the synthesis of chiral pyridoindole based building block.In the study of chiral acid selectivity of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) based chiral conductingpolymers.
General Description(R)-(-)-Mandelic acid, a chiral resolving agent, is also used as a building block to synthesize pharmaceutical drugs such as penicillin and cephalosporin. It can be synthesized from (R,S)-mandelonitrile with high yield and enantioselectivity using nitrilase enzyme.
