Identifiers CAS number 31752-99-5 ATC code ? Chemical data Formula C21H20O5 Mol. mass 352.381 SMILES eMolecules & PubChem Corey lactone 4-phenylbenzoate, or (3aR,4S,5R,6aS)-hexahydro-4-(hydroxymethyl)-5-(4-phenylbenzoyloxy)cyclopenta[b]furan-2-one, is a synthetic intermediate used in the manufacture of some prostaglandin derivatives.[1] It has been used as a false name by some designer drug manufacturers as a label to sell substituted cathinone derivatives after the banning of mephedrone and related drugs in some jurisdictions,[citation needed] but there is no evidence to suggest that Corey lactone 4-phenylbenzoate has any stimulant effects in its own right.
