L-Alanine isopropyl ester hydrochloride

It appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder and is freely soluble in water and polar organic solvents.This compound is mainly used as a synthetic intermediate in pharmaceutical and fine chemical manufacturing. The ester functionality improves lipophilicity and reactivity compared to free L-alanine, making it suitable for peptide synthesis, prodrug development, and amino acid modification reactions. The hydrochloride salt form enhances stability, handling, and storage. L-Alanine isopropyl ester hydrochloride is a chiral amino acid ester salt derived from L-alanine, in which the carboxyl group is esterified with isopropanol and the amino group is protonated as a hydrochloride.
