Overview
The benzyl group protects the amino function and can be removed later by hydrogenolysis, while the methyl ester protects the acid group, so the compound can be used directly in coupling and alkylation steps.
Our Nα-Benzyl-L-alanine methyl ester is produced under strict quality control to ensure high chemical purity, good optical integrity and consistent batch-to-batch quality. Each lot is tested before release.
