(S,S)-(+)-2,3-Butanediol is an important platform chemical and chiral building block. (S,S)-(+)-2,3-Butanediol can be used for the asymmetric synthesis of chiral compounds containing two vicinal chiral centers and, as a bio-based chain extender, influences the polymer structure and properties of thermoplastic polyurethanes. (S,S)-(+)-2,3-Butanediol can be applied in research related to chiral pharmaceutical intermediates and bio-based polymer materials[1].
