D-Serine methyl ester hydrochloride

It provides the stereochemically defined amino acid backbone, allowing introduction of the acetamide functional group at the β-position. Its ester functionality enables selective reactions, such as amide bond formation, while preserving the stereochemistry at the α-carbon, which is crucial for the pharmacological activity of lacosamide. D-Serine methyl ester hydrochloride is an important chiral building block in the synthesis of Lacosamide, an anticonvulsant drug.
