What 's the Mandelic acid Powder?
D-mandelic acid is a polar molecule, and because it contains hydroxyl and carboxyl groups, the molecule has a certain degree of hydrophilicity. Since D-mandelic acid is a chiral molecule, its physical and chemical properties are affected by the three-dimensional structure of its molecule. In addition, the acid-base properties of D-mandelic acid are also affected by the molecular structure. The acidity of its carboxyl group is weak, because the hydroxyl group on the chiral carbon atom replaces a hydrogen atom, which reduces the resonance stability of the negative charge. From the perspective of chemical reaction, the chiral structure of D-mandelic acid also affects the chirality of its reaction products. This chiral property is of great significance in organic synthesis and can be used to prepare chiral molecules for drugs and chemicals.
