L-tert-Leucine, 99%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

L-tert-Leucine is an essential amino acid and makes up one third of our muscle protein. It can be used as a food additive. It is used in the formation of sterols. It is used in the production of cobalt oxazoline palladacycles complex, which acts as a catalyst in the rearrangement of prochiral N-aryl trifluoroacetimidates to allylic amides yielded in significantly higher enantioselectivities with the (S)-(_pR)-diasteroisomer.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
