(R)-(-)-1,2-Propanediol is the (R)-enantiomer of 1,2-Propanediol, which is derived from glucose through the expression of NADH-linked glycerol dehydrogenase genes in Escherichia coli.
rac-1,2-bis-Palmitoyl-3-chloropropanediol (Standard) is the standard substance of rac-1,2-bis-Palmitoyl-3-chloropropanediol, and it is applicable for quantitative analysis, quality control, and related research in biochemical experiments. rac-1,2-bis-Palmitoyl-3-chloropropanediol is a 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD) ester.1It has been found as a contaminant in edible olive oils, with the lowest and highest concentrations in extra virgin and olive pomace oils, respectively.rac-1,2-bis-Palmitoyl-3-chloropropanediol has also been found in cottonseed and palm oils, as well as in shortening.2It induces renal tubular necrosis and a decrease in spermatids, but no gross pathological changes, in mice.3
