Beschreibung

Alpha-methyl-DL-valine is an amino acid that is used as a building block for making proteins. It has optical activity, which means it can rotate polarized light in one direction. Alpha-methyl-DL-valine is used to make racemates, which are mixtures of two different enantiomers (mirror images). It is also used for the manufacture of ion exchange resins and as a reagent in organic synthesis. Alpha-methyl-DL-valine is sensitive to acidic conditions and reacts with butanoic acid to form an ester, which can be hydrolyzed by water to release the original alpha methyl DL valine. This compound's ability to react with other molecules makes it a useful model system for studying reactions between amino acids. It also has paramagnetic resonance properties that can be used to study its structure and chemical properties.
