2-Phenyl-1,3-propanediol

2-Phenyl-1,3-propanediol (2PPD) is mainly used in chemical synthesis, acting as a building block for more complex molecules, including chiral intermediates, and derivatives like 2-phenyl-1,3-propanedithiol, often for research in pharmaceuticals, as suggested by its link to the epilepsy drug metabolite felbamate.
