Common Namemandelate
Descriptionmandelate, also known as mandelic acid ion, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzene and substituted derivatives. These are aromatic compounds containing one monocyclic ring system consisting of benzene. The drugs cyclandelate and homatropine are esters of mandelic acid. Isolation, synthesis, occurrence Mandelic acid was discovered in 1831 by the German pharmacist Ferdinand Ludwig Winckler (1801–1868) while heating amygdalin, an extract of bitter almonds, with diluted hydrochloric acid. mandelate is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). It is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and polar organic solvents. Derivatives of mandelic acid are formed as a result of metabolism of adrenaline and noradrenaline by monoamine oxidase and catechol-O-methyl transferase. It also arises by heating phenylglyoxal with alkalis. It is a useful precursor to various drugs. Mandelonitrile can also be prepared by reacting benzaldehyde with sodium bisulfite to give the corresponding adduct, forming mandelonitrile with sodium cyanide, which is hydrolyzed:Alternatively, it can be prepared by base hydrolysis of phenylchloroacetic acid and dibromacetophenone.
