The hydrogen bond donor count is 2, hydrogen bond acceptor count is 3, the topological polar surface area is 57.5 Ų and the rotatable bond count is 2, 1 as Computed by Cactus 3.4.6.11. It behaves as a human xenobiotic metabolite. It is the conjugate acid of an (R)-mandelate and it is an enantiomer of an (S)-mandelic acid. Mandelic acid was discovered in 1831 by the German pharmacist Ferdinand Ludwig Winckler (1801–1868) while heating amygdalin, an extract of bitter almonds, with diluted hydrochloric acid.
