347840-04-4 - Introduction
Sarcosine, also known as methylglycine, is a naturally occurring non-polar α-amino acid. Its chemical formula is CH3NHCH2COOH, it has the form of colorless crystal or crystalline powder, and is soluble in water and alcohol. The following is a description of some of the properties, uses, methods and safety information of Sarcosine:
Nature:
- Sarcosine is an odorless solid with a slightly sweet taste.
-It has good water solubility and can be dissolved in water to form a colorless transparent solution.
- Sarcosine is the methylation product of the amino acid glycine, so it has a certain metabolism in the organism.
Use:
- Sarcosine are widely used in the preparation of chemical reagents, such as the analysis and detection of creatine.
-It is also used as a raw material for pharmaceutical intermediates, such as antidepressants, anti-schizophrenia and anti-anxiety drugs.
Preparation Method:
- Sarcosine can be prepared by methylation of glycine. The reaction is usually carried out using reagents such as methylene iodide or methyl bromide.
Safety Information:
- Sarcosine can be regarded as a relatively safe compound under conventional use and concentration, with no obvious side effects.
-However, like any chemical, exposure to high concentrations of Sarcosine may cause an irritating skin and eye reaction.
-When using the Sarcosine, please follow the safety instructions and avoid direct contact with skin and eyes. In case of accidental contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical assistance.
-When using the Sarcosine, please store it properly, away from fire and oxidant, and avoid violent vibration.
