Chemical Structure

L-(-)-3-Phenyllactic Acid CAS 20312-36-1 chemical structure

Description

L-(-)-3-Phenyllactic Acid (C9H10O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
