H-Leu-NH2.HCl; L-Leucinamide hydrochloride; CAS No.: 10466-61-2;H-Leu-NH2.HCl. PROPERTIES: H-Leu-NH2.HCl is a white to off-white crystalline powder with a molecular formula of C9H18ClN2O2 and a molecular weight of 225.71 g/mol. It has good water solubility and forms slightly acidic solutions. Storage should be at room temperature in a tightly sealed container. Safety precautions include avoiding inhalation of dust and eye contact due to potential irritation. APPLICATIONS: H-Leu-NH2.HCl is an amino acid derivative used in peptide synthesis. In medicinal chemistry, it serves as a building block for synthesizing bioactive peptides, particularly those targeting metabolic and neurological pathways (source: Journal of Peptide Science). The hydrochloride salt form enhances its stability and solubility in aqueous reaction conditions. Additionally, it functions as a reference compound in studying leucine metabolism and its role in muscle protein synthesis and signaling pathways (source: Amino Acids).
