L-(-)-3-Phenyllactic acid Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

white to light yellow crystal powde

Uses

L-(-)-3-Phenyllactic Acid is used in the synthetic preparation of peptidomimetics as neuropeptide S receptor agonists as well as many other useful compounds.

Definition

ChEBI: (S)-3-phenyllactic acid is the (S)-enantiomer of 3-phenyllactic acid. It is a (2S)-2-hydroxy monocarboxylic acid and a 3-phenyllactic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a (S)-3-phenyllactate. It is an enantiomer of a (R)-3-phenyllactic acid.

General Description

L-(-)-3-Phenyllactic acid has been used in the development of degradable self-assembling depsipeptide nanofibers.

Purification Methods

Crystallise the acid from water, MeOH, EtOH or *benzene. [Beilstein 10 IV 653.]
