Product Name: (S)-(+)-Mandelic acid Synonyms: Mandelic acid, S-(+)-; L-mandelic acid; (S)-(+)-Mandelic Acid Assay: 99% CAS No.: 17199-29-0 EINECS No.: 241-240-8 Molecular Formula: C8H8O3 Molecular Weight: 152.15 Melting point: 130-135º C Boiling point: 321.8° C at 760 mmHg Flashing point: 162.6° C Water Solubillity: 100 g/L (25º C) Sensibility: Light Sensitive Appearance: White crystaline powder Packing: 25kg/drum Application: Organic synthesis and pharmaceutical industry Description: Mandelic acid is an aromatic alpha hydroxy acid with the molecular formula C6H5CH(OH)CO2H. It is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and polar organic solvents. It is a useful precursor to various drugs. Since the molecule is chiral, it exists in either of two enantiomers as well as the racemic mixture, known as paramandelic acid. Application: Mandelic acid has a long history of use in the medical community as an antibacterial, particularly in the treatment of urinary tract infections. It has also been used as an oral antibiotic, and as a component of "chemical face peels", along with other alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs)
