H-D-HomoPhe-OH is a non-proteinogenic amino acid derivative serving as a critical building block in peptide synthesis. Manufactured via rigorous asymmetric hydrogenation or enzymatic resolution, it features the molecular formula C10H13NO2 and CAS No. 5476-89-9. This compound acts as a homologue of phenylalanine, extending side-chain length to modulate peptide conformation.
Store under inert atmosphere at -20°C to prevent racemization. Avoid inhalation of dust; use appropriate PPE including gloves and respirators. Not intended for direct human consumption without pharmaceutical formulation.
