<h3>Overview</h3>
<p><strong>Ethyl (R)-(-)-4-cyano-3-hydroxybutyrate</strong> (CAS 141942-85-0) is a chiral intermediate synthesized via asymmetric cyanation of ethyl acrylate. Its molecular formula is C<sub>7</sub>H<sub>11</sub>NO<sub>3</sub>. This enantiomerically pure compound serves as a critical building block in pharmaceutical synthesis.</p>
<h3>Application</h3>
<ul>
<li>Synthesis of statin drugs, including atorvastatin and rosuvastatin.</li>
<li>Production of beta-lactam antibiotics and antiviral agents.</li>
<li>Development of novel chiral ligands for catalytic processes.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Precautions</h3>
<p>Store under inert atmosphere at 2-8°C away from light. Handle with appropriate PPE to avoid skin contact; use in well-ventilated areas due to potential hydrolysis risks.</p>
