Description

Sodium 3-Phenyl-L-Alaninate is the sodium salt of the non-proteinogenic amino acid 3-Phenyl-L-alanine. This compound is a valuable chiral building block and intermediate in advanced organic synthesis, particularly for the preparation of pharmaceuticals and bioactive peptides. It is essential for research and production in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and fine chemical industries where high-purity, enantiomerically pure intermediates are required.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key chiral synthon for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially in peptidomimetics and enzyme inhibitors.
• Peptide Synthesis: Used as a protected amino acid derivative in solid-phase and solution-phase peptide synthesis to incorporate the 3-phenylalanine moiety.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a standard or reagent in metabolic pathway studies and enzyme-substrate interaction research.
• Asymmetric Catalysis: Employed as a ligand precursor or chiral auxiliary in asymmetric synthesis to induce stereoselectivity.
• Fine Chemical Production: Intermediate for manufacturing specialty chemicals, agrochemicals, and advanced materials.
