Application

(R)-(+)-2-Chloropropionic acid can be used as a starting material in the synthesis of:       
  • Thiolactic acid, a key intermediate, which is used for the preparation of 2(R),5(S)-oxathiolanones by reacting with pivalaldehyde.       
  • (R)-2-chloropropionyl chloride, a key intermediate, which is utilized in the synthesis of (R)-4,5-dihydro-5-methylpyridazin-3(2H)-one derivative with pyrazolopyridine ring as a potential phosphodiesterase inhibitor.       
  • 2-Chloropropionamide derivatives as protein disulfide isomerase (PID) inhibitors.
