General Description

2-Bromo-DL-Phenylalanine is a chemical compound that consists of the amino acid phenylalanine with a bromine atom attached to the 2 position of the benzene ring. It is a racemic mixture, meaning it contains equal amounts of both the D and L isomers of phenylalanine. 2-Bromo-DL-Phenylalanine is commonly used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and is also a useful building block in organic chemistry. It is a white to off-white crystalline powder and is generally stable under normal conditions, but should be handled with care due to its potential to cause skin and eye irritation.
