Product Information

• Name: L-Glutamic acid 5-tert-butyl ester
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: L-glutamic acid 5-tert-butyl ester (L-GTE) is an amino acid that is classified as a heterocyclic amide. It can be synthesized by the condensation of L-glutamic acid and N-(2-aminoethyl)-N'-(2-propenyl)carbodimide with the tert-butylester of dihydrobenzoin. The protonation of L-GTE with sodium hydroxide produces the corresponding salt, L-glutamic acid 5-(N,N'-dimethylamino)propyl ester. This compound can be used for the synthesis of various amines by reacting it with primary amines in different sequences. L-GTE has also been shown to have antioxidant properties, which may be due to its ability to scavenge hydrogen sulfate radicals.
