D-(–)-2-Phenylglycine(CAT: R016511) is a chiral, non-proteinogenic amino acid featuring a phenyl group attached to the α-carbon of glycine in the D-configuration. It is widely used as a building block in asymmetric synthesis, pharmaceutical development, and peptidomimetic design. Its enantiopurity and rigid structure make it valuable for producing chirally pure APIs, particularly in β-lactam antibiotics and enzyme inhibitors. D-Phenylglycine is also employed in stereochemical studies, ligand design, and chiral resolution methods. Its incorporation into peptides or small molecules can modulate bioactivity, metabolic stability, and receptor selectivity, making it a key intermediate in medicinal and synthetic organic chemistry.
