Description

S-Benzyl-L-cysteine methyl ester hydrochloride is a thioether that can be synthesized from benzyl mercaptan and cysteine. It is used as an optical reagent in the determination of amines. This chemical has a helical conformation and it has been shown to have a transition at 280 nm. S-Benzyl-L-cysteine methyl ester hydrochloride is also a monomer in porphyrins, which are important for the production of heme and chlorophyll. This chemical is also catalytic, and its conformation changes when it reacts with amines.
