Product Description:

DL-2-(2-Chlorophenyl)glycine, CAS 141196-64-7, is a racemic amino acid derivative featuring an ortho-chlorinated phenyl group attached to the alpha carbon. This compound serves as a crucial intermediate in organic synthesis, primarily for the preparation of pharmaceuticals and other specialized fine chemicals. It is often utilized as a starting material for chiral resolution to obtain specific enantiomers or can be used directly in synthetic processes where a racemic mixture is appropriate.

Product Usage:

DL-2-(2-Chlorophenyl)glycine (CAS 141196-64-7) acts as a key synthetic intermediate, particularly within the pharmaceutical industry. It is a common precursor for producing enantiomerically pure active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). This often involves chiral resolution to isolate the desired L-enantiomer (such as L-2-(2-Chlorophenyl)glycine, CAS 141315-50-6), which is a critical building block for the antiplatelet drug Clopidogrel. The DL-form is also valuable for research purposes and in syntheses where the specific stereochemistry is not immediately critical or is established later in the synthetic pathway.
