General description

N-Acetyl-L-phenylalanine is an acetyl analog of L-phenylalanine. It is widely used as a reactant to synthesize methyl or ethyl esters of N-acetyl-L-phenylalanine, which are employed as versatile building blocks in peptide synthesis.

Application

N-Acetyl-L-phenylalanine can be used as a reactant to synthesize:
  • N-acetyl phenylalanine methyl ester by esterification reaction with methanol using Mukaiyama′s reagent.
  • Acetylaminocyclohexane propanoic acid by rhodium-catalyzed hydrogenation reaction.
