(R)-2-Amino-4-phenylbutyric acid, also known as D-Homophenylalanine or H-D-HoPhe-OH, is a non-proteinogenic amino acid derivative. Its molecular formula is C10H13NO2 (CAS No. 6739-85-3). This compound is typically synthesized via chiral resolution of racemic precursors or asymmetric catalytic hydrogenation to ensure high optical purity for pharmaceutical synthesis.
