 |  | [Uses] 
 (R)-(-)-3-Chloro-1,2-propanediol is used as a reagent in the synthesis of PA-824, which is a promising antituberculosis drug candidate that has been synthesized. It is also used in the manufacture of L-carnitine, which is a quaternary ammonium compound involved in metabolism in most mammals, plants, and some bacteria.
 |  | [Definition] 
 ChEBI: The (R)-stereoisomer of 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol.
 |  | [Health Hazard] 
 The toxicological evaluation revealed that (R)-(-)-3-Chloro-1,2-propanediol was genotoxic in humans and had anti-fertility effects in male rats. The discharge of this compound into wastewater might cause serious environmental hazards[1].
