Physical and chemical propertiesD-mandelic acid is a polar molecule, which has a certain hydrophilicity due to the presence of hydroxyl and carboxyl groups in it. Since D-mandelic acid is a chiral molecule, its physicochemical 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, and its carboxyl group is weakly acidic 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 reactions, the chiral structure of D-mandelic acid also has an effect on the chirality of its reaction products. This chiral property is of great significance in organic synthesis and can be used in the preparation of drugs and chemicals for chiral molecules.
