Introduction
L-phenylalanine benzyl ester is an organic compound. Its chemical structure contains an L-aspartic acid molecule and a benzyl esterified group.
L-Benzyl aspartate has the form of a white crystalline powder that is soluble in ethanol and chloroform at room temperature and slightly soluble in water. It is a derivative with the natural amino acid L-aspartic acid and plays an important biological activity in living organisms.
The method of preparing L-benzyl aspartate is to convert L-aspartic acid with benzyl alcohol by esterification reaction. The reaction is usually carried out under acidic conditions and with the use of appropriate acid catalysts.
It is a chemical and should be disposed of in accordance with the relevant operating guidelines and safety protocols. Avoid contact with skin and eyes, and wear protective gloves, goggles, and protective clothing if necessary. If ingested or inhaled, seek medical attention immediately. It needs to be stored in a dry, well-ventilated place, away from heat and fire.
