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.

L-2-halocid dehalogenases (L-2-HADs) have been mainly characterized from terrestrial polluted environments. By contrast, knowledge is still scarce about their role in detoxification of predominant halocarbons in marine environments. Here, phylogenetic analyses showed a wide diversity of homologous L-2-HADs, especially among
