3-Cyclohexylalanine hydrate (1:1)(CAS: 307310-72-1)

3-Cyclohexylalanine hydrate (1:1) is a crystalline solid with a molecular weight of approximately 230.32 g/mol. It has a water solubility of around 0.5 g/L at 25°C. Chemically, it is less reactive than its anhydrous counterpart, showing moderate reactivity with strong acids and bases. It exhibits good stability under standard storage conditions.

3-Cyclohexylalanine hydrate (1:1) is typically synthesized by reacting cyclohexylalanine with water in the presence of a mild acid catalyst. The reaction involves the hydrolysis of the ester bond to form the hydrate. The process yields high purity product with good selectivity, and the reaction is carried out under mild conditions to ensure a high yield.

3-Cyclohexylalanine hydrate (1:1) is used in the pharmaceutical industry for the development of custom peptides and amino acid-based drugs. It also finds applications in the polymer industry for the synthesis of biodegradable polymers. Additionally, it is used in the sensor and semiconductor industries for specific chemical sensing and electronic applications.

When handling 3-Cyclohexylalanine hydrate (1:1), it is important to use personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and a lab coat. Operations should be conducted in a well-ventilated area or a fume hood. Spills should be immediately cleaned up with appropriate absorbent materials. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed handling and disposal information.
