A-METHYL-DL-PHENYLALANINE - Introduction

Alpha-methyl-DL-phenylalanine (Alpha-Methyl-DL-phenylalanine) is a phenylalanine derivative containing an additional methyl functional group.

Nature:
alpha-methyl-DL-phenylalanine is a colorless crystalline solid with the amino and carboxyl groups of phenylalanine. It has two chiral centers, so there are four possible stereoisomers. It has a melting point of about 100-110°C and is soluble in water and some organic solvents.

Use:
Alpha-methyl-DL-phenylalanine is widely used in the field of synthetic drugs, medicine and research. For example, it can be used as one of the important intermediates in the synthesis of polypeptide drugs.

Preparation Method:
Alpha-methyl-DL-phenylalanine can be obtained by a synthetic reaction of phenylalanine. The specific procedure generally involves the addition of an appropriate methylating agent for the introduction of a methyl group on the α-carbon of phenylalanine.

Safety Information:
alpha-methyl-DL-phenylalanine is a relatively safe compound in general, but appropriate protective measures are still needed. During operation, contact with skin, eyes and inhalation of dust should be avoided. In case of accidental contact, rinse immediately with water and seek medical help. At the same time, in the use and storage should pay attention to comply with the relevant safety operation specifications.
