API Intermediate Description: Methyl cyclopentylmandelate is an ester derivative of mandelic acid used as a synthetic intermediate in organic and pharmaceutical chemistry. It consists of a mandelate (α-hydroxy aromatic ester) framework in which the carboxylic acid is esterified with methanol, and the hydroxyl-bearing carbon is substituted with a cyclopentyl group. This structure provides stereochemical relevance and moderate lipophilicity, making it useful for downstream transformations.
