L-Hydroxyproline (L-Hydroxyprolin) is one of the hydroxyproline (Hyp) isomers. L-Hydroxyproline is a useful chiral building block in the production of many pharmaceuticals.

Inexpensive starting material for chiral synthesis.

D-Lyxose (D-(-)-Lyxose) is used as a chiral building block.

Levoglucosan (1,6-anhydro-b-D-Glucose) is an anhydrohexose that is the 1,6-anhydro-derivative of beta-D-glucopyranose. It is formed from the pyrolysis of carbohydrates, such as starch and cellulose. Levoglucosan can also be utilized in the synthesis of chiral polymers such as unhydrolysable glucose polymers. Levoglucosan is also produced via caramelization of sugar. Consumption of caramel or caramel-containing sweets can lead to a short-term 5X increase in urinary levels of levoglucosan (from 20 uM mM creatinine to 100 uM mM creatinine).

(S)-2-Hydroxy-3-phenylpropanoic acid (L-(−)-3-Phenyllactic acid) is a chiral aromatic compound involved in phenylalanine metabolism. It is likely produced from phenylpyruvate via lactate dehydrogenase. The D-form is derived from bacterial sources, while the L-form is endogenous. Phenyllactate levels are normally very low in blood or urine, but high levels indicate phenylketonuria (PKU) and hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA). PKU is due to a deficiency of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), causing phenylalanine to convert to phenylpyruvic acid rather than tyrosine.

(R)-3-Hydroxybutanoic acid sodium ((R)-3-Hydroxybutyric acid) is a chiral precursor that can be used to synthesize biodegradable PHB and its copolyesters. (R)-3-Hydroxybutanoic acid sodium can be used as a nutrient in plants.

2-Acetylthiazole (2-Acetylthiazole;2 Acetylthiazole) is used in the preparation of chiral alcohols, triazolothiazoles, it is also used in aldol condensation reactions.

D-(-)-Lactic acid sodium (Sodium D-lactate) is a microbial metabolite and a chiral molecule commonly used in glycolysis-related studies. Among its isomers, the L-isomer is the most prevalent in biological systems.

(-)-CAMPHOR (L-Camphor) also known by its common name as (-)-Camphor is a chiral intermediate of camphor and is used as a flavour additive in foods and sweetners.

Metolachlor is an organic compound. Metolachlor is also widely used as an herbicide.

Cedryl acetate (Cedranyl acetate) , an acetylated from cedarwood oil, has been applied to chemistry for its properties as a chiral and cell signaling reagent with antifungal and immunotoxicity functions.

(+)-Fenchol, a monoterpenoid discovered in various plants including Cannabis, serves both as a precursor in synthesizing other terpenoids and as a chiral building block for the organic synthesis of numerous compounds. Additionally, formulations incorporating (+)-fenchol are employed as fragrance ingredients.
