It has a wide range of applications in peptide chemistry and is used as a chiral additive in asymmetric Diels-Alder reactions.
L-Proline benzyl ester hydrochloride (CAS 15762-84-0, C13H16ClNO2) is a protected amino acid derivative synthesized via esterification of L-proline with benzyl alcohol followed by hydrochlorination. It serves as a critical chiral building block in peptide synthesis.
Store under inert atmosphere at 2-8°C to prevent hydrolysis. Avoid direct skin contact; wear appropriate PPE including gloves and goggles during handling due to potential irritancy.
