Product Description
D-Proline is a high-purity, non-proteinogenic amino acid that serves as a vital chiral building block in modern chemical synthesis. As the optical isomer of the naturally occurring L-Proline, this white to off-white crystalline powder is indispensable for the creation of chiral ligands, catalysts, and specialized pharmaceuticals. Its unique secondary amine structure allows it to provide precise stereochemical control in asymmetric synthesis, making it a favorite among research chemists and drug developers.
Product Features
High Optical Purity: Guaranteed high enantiomeric excess (typically ee over 99%), ensuring maximum precision and selectivity in asymmetric catalytic reactions.
Versatile Chiral Building Block: Acts as a fundamental intermediate for synthesizing D-type peptides, chiral drugs, and advanced organic molecules.
Excellent Solubility: Highly soluble in water and slightly soluble in ethanol, allowing for flexible processing in various aqueous or organic solvent systems.
Stable Crystalline Form: Provided as a stable crystalline powder with a melting point of approximately 215 to 223 degrees Celsius (with decomposition), facilitating easy storage and handling.
Organocatalysis Essential: Widely utilized in the synthesis of chiral catalysts, such as those used in the Hajos-Parrish-Eder-Sauer-Wiechert reaction.
Pharmaceutical Grade Quality: Manufactured under strict quality control to ensure low heavy metal content and minimal impurities, suitable for pharmaceutical research.
Natural Isomer Alternative: Provides the necessary structural "mirror image" for researchers investigating the biological effects of D-amino acids in protein engineering.
