Product Information

• Name: L-Proline tert-butyl ester
• Synonyms: L-Pro-OtBu(S)-Pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: L-Proline tert-butyl ester is an organic compound that is used in the synthesis of amino acids and pharmaceuticals. It is chiral, and can be synthesized by a stepwise, asymmetric synthesis. The hydrochloric acid treatment of L-lysine with trifluoroacetic acid yields the corresponding L-proline tert-butyl ester. The stereoselectivity of this process depends on the type of catalyst used for demethylation and alkylation reactions.
