Overview
L-Leucinamide Hydrochloride (CAS: 10466-61-2) is a chiral amino acid derivative synthesized via enzymatic or chemical amidation of L-leucine followed by hydrochlorination. Molecular formula: C6H15N2O2Cl.
Application
- Pharmaceutical synthesis as a chiral building block for beta-lactam antibiotics.
- Peptide coupling agent in the production of specialized enzyme inhibitors.
- Research reagent for studying metabolic pathways involving leucine derivatives.
Precautions
- Store under inert atmosphere at -20°C to prevent hydrolysis.
- Requires PPE handling due to potential skin irritation and corrosive nature.
- Not intended for direct human consumption without pharmaceutical formulation.
