|  |  | D-(-)-PANTOLACTONE Usage And Synthesis | 
 | Chemical Properties | WHITE CRYSTALLINE POWDER OR CRYSTALS |  | Uses | D-(-)-Pantolactone is a chiral auxiliary used in many asymmetric synthesis reactions. It can be used as a chiral starting material to synthesize:
 
 An insect sex pheromone named 1S,2S,3R-1-acetoxymethyl-2,3,4,4-tetrameth-ylcyclopentane.(-)-Enantiomer of (R)-8-hydroxy-4,7,7-trimethyl-7,8-dihydrocyclopenta[e]isoindole-1,3(2H,6H)-dione, a norsesquiterpene alkaloid.A bicyclic diterpene named isofregenedadiol.
 
 |  | Uses | D-(-)-PANTOLACTONE is an important intermediate in the synthesis of pantothenic acid as well as a degradation product of pantothneic acid in the liver. Causes disorientation and hypothermia, and prevents phenamine-induced hyperthermia. |  | Definition | ChEBI: (R)-pantolactone is a butan-4-olide that is dihydrofuran-2(3H)-one substituted by a hydroxy group at position 3 and two methyl groups at position 4 (the R-stereoisomer). It has a role as a Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite. It is functionally related to a (R)-pantoic acid. |  | General Description | Pharmaceutical secondary standards for application in quality control, provide pharma laboratories and manufacturers with a convenient and cost-effective alternative to the preparation of in-house working standards. |  | Purification Methods | Recrystallise the lactone from Et2O/pet ether, diisopropyl ether or *C6H6/pet ether and sublime it at 25o/0.0001mm. It hydrolyses readily to the hydroxy-acid and racemises when heated above 145o. The Brucine salt has m 211-212o (from EtOH). [Kuhn & Wieland Chem Ber 73 1134 1940, and Stiller et al.
