Methyl L-tyrosinate（Cat No.:R005431）is the methyl ester derivative of the naturally occurring amino acid L-tyrosine. It features a phenolic side chain and a methylated carboxyl group, making it more lipophilic and suitable for organic synthesis. This compound is commonly used as an intermediate in the production of peptides, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. Its ester form facilitates coupling reactions in peptide synthesis and enhances membrane permeability in drug development. Methyl L-tyrosinate retains the chirality of L-tyrosine and is typically handled as a white to off-white solid. Proper storage is required to prevent hydrolysis or degradation.
