L-Serine benzyl ester hydrochloride
1. Basic Information
Name: L-Serine benzyl ester hydrochloride
CAS No.: 60022-62-0
Molecular Formula: C10H14ClNO3
Molecular Weight: 231.68
Category: Chiral amino acid derivative peptide synthesis intermediate
2. Physical and Chemical Properties
Physical Properties
- Appearance: White crystalline powder
- Odor: Odorless, slight acidic taste
- Solubility: Soluble in methanol, ethanol, water; slightly soluble in acetone; insoluble in ethyl acetate and alkanes
- Melting Range: 162–166 °C
- Hygroscopy: Slightly hygroscopic under high humidity
- Aqueous Property: Acidic aqueous solution due to hydrochloride salt
Chemical Properties
- Molecular Structure: L-serine protected with benzyl ester at carboxyl group, forming hydrochloride salt with amino group
- Amino Group Reactivity: Primary amine can carry out acylation, Boc/Fmoc protection, peptide coupling reactions
- Hydroxyl Group Activity: Side chain hydroxyl available for silylation, esterification protection
- Ester Hydrolysis: Benzyl ester stable under neutral mild conditions; hydrolyzed under strong acid/alkali heating to release L-serine
- Thermal Stability: Stable below 100 °C; long-time high temperature leads to partial debenzylation and decomposition
- Photostability: Moderately light-sensitive; long UV exposure causes slight yellow discoloration
- Compatibility: Compatible with common peptide synthesis solvents; incompatible with strong alkali, strong oxidants
3. Main Application Fields
1. Peptide Synthetic Intermediate (Core Application)
Key building block for solid/liquid phase peptide synthesis; benzyl ester acts as carboxyl protecting group for serine-containing polypeptide preparation
2. Chiral Pharmaceutical Intermediate
Raw material for serine-based chiral drugs and small molecule enzyme inhibitors
3. HPLC Chiral Reference Standard
Reference substance for amino acid derivative purity detection
