2-AMINO-4,4-DIMETHYL-PENTANOIC ACID - Introduction
dl-alpha-neopentylglycin(DL-alpha-neopentylglycin) is an amino acid derivative. It is a white crystalline solid, insoluble in water and readily soluble in organic solvents such as alcohols and ketones.
dl-alpha-neopentylglycin have some uses in the pharmaceutical field. It is commonly used as an intermediate in the synthesis of some drugs, especially certain anticancer drugs and antiviral drugs. In addition, in the field of medical devices, dl-alpha-neopentylglycin are often used as building blocks for the synthesis of biocompatible polymer materials.
The compound can be prepared by oxidizing leucine. First, leucine is oxidized with hydrogen peroxide to obtain γ-hydroxyleucine, which is then alkylated to obtain dl-alpha-neopentylglycin.
Regarding safety information, dl-alpha-neopentylglycin are generally considered to be relatively safe compounds. However, appropriate personal protective measures should still be taken during handling or use to avoid direct contact with skin and eyes. If necessary, it is recommended to proceed under the guidance of an experienced operator.
