L-Arginine acetate(CAS: 71173-62-1)

L-Arginine acetate (CAS: 71173-62-1) is a white to off-white crystalline powder. It has a molecular weight of approximately 224.28 g/mol. It is soluble in water and ethanol. It is mildly basic and exhibits reactivity towards strong acids and bases. It has a melting point of about 220-222°C and is stable under normal conditions.

L-Arginine acetate is typically synthesized by acetylation of L-arginine. This process involves reacting L-arginine with acetic anhydride in the presence of a suitable catalyst such as pyridine. The reaction is generally carried out at room temperature and yields high purity product with good selectivity and yield.

L-Arginine acetate (CAS: 71173-62-1) is used in the pharmaceutical industry for the production of various drugs and supplements. It is also used in the polymer industry as a stabilizer and in the sensor industry for its ability to enhance sensitivity. Additionally, it is sometimes used in semiconductor manufacturing for cleaning and etching processes.

When handling L-Arginine acetate (CAS: 71173-62-1), it is important to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and goggles. It should be stored in a cool, dry place away from strong acids and bases. In case of spill, it should be cleaned up immediately using appropriate methods. Always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed handling and disposal instructions.
