Description

Dl-3-Phenylalanine CAS NO 150-30-1 is a synthetic, racemic mixture of the essential amino acid phenylalanine, where the chiral center at the β-carbon is absent. This non-proteinogenic amino acid derivative serves as a crucial chiral building block and intermediate in advanced organic synthesis. It is primarily sought after by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for developing novel compounds and fine chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon for the research and development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in creating novel drug candidates.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of advanced pesticides and herbicides where specific stereochemistry influences biological activity.
• Peptide Chemistry: Employed in peptide synthesis research to study structure-activity relationships and create modified peptide analogs.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a standard or reagent in metabolic pathway studies and enzymatic research.
• Fine Chemical Production: Acts as a precursor for various specialty chemicals, including flavors, fragrances, and advanced materials.
