Description
4-Benzoyl-L-phenylalanine is an aromatic amino-acid derivative used in laboratory synthesis and biochemical research. It is identified by CAS number 104504-45-2, has the empirical formula C₁₆H₁₅NO₃ and a molar mass of 269,3 g/mol. The benzoyl-substituted L-phenylalanine structure makes it a useful building block where a photoactive or sterically defined aromatic side chain is required in peptide and organic chemistry projects. This offering is Clear CAS, formula and molar-mass data simplify registration in electronic lab notebooks and purchasing systems. The compound is provided from manufacturer Carl ROTH in the chemicals and biochemicals range aimed at research and development laboratories. Researchers can employ 4-Benzoyl-L-phenylalanine in the design of modified peptides, probes and specialty intermediates while relying on the stated molecular identity for batch documentation. balances economy with sufficient material for iterative optimisation, supporting consistent handling across synthetic, analytical and biochemical workflows that depend on well-characterised amino-acid analogues.

Questions about 4-Benzoyl-L-phenylalanine, 2.5 g
What is this article?
4-Benzoyl-L-phenylalanine, 2.5 g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Click chemistry, bioconjugation & synthesis reagents, inside Biochemicals & reagents, in Microbiology lab supplies.
Click and bioconjugation reagents join two molecules under mild conditions, often an azide to an alkyne, or an NHS ester to an amine. The linker length and the reactive group are the specification. They are small bottles of a reactive compound, and moisture often ruins them.
A biochemical is a molecule of life, sold as a reagent: an amino acid, a sugar, a nucleotide, a lipid, an enzyme, an antibiotic. The difference from a bulk chemical is that the use is a biological one, and the impurities that matter are the ones that change that use. An enzyme is specified by activity, not only by mass. An antibiotic is specified by potency. Papers are on PubMed. Structures are on PubChem. Strains and lines that consume these reagents are at ATCC.
