(R)-(+)-Methyl p-tolyl sulfoxide（Cat No.:M049367） is a chiral sulfoxide compound, where the sulfur atom is bonded to both a methyl group and a para-tolyl group (a benzene ring with a methyl group at the para position). This compound is optically active, meaning it exists in an enantiomerically pure form as the R-enantiomer. It is commonly used in organic synthesis as a chiral auxiliary or a chiral resolving agent, helping to induce or analyze stereoselectivity in chemical reactions. Its applications extend to pharmaceutical research where it can influence the synthesis of enantiomerically pure drugs.
