About L-Alanine benzyl ester 4-toluenesulfonate

L-Alanine benzyl ester 4-toluenesulfonate (CAS Number: 42854-62-6) is a sulfur-functionalized compound with diverse reactivity with defined stereochemistry. ChemContract Research supplies this moderate-complexity compound in high purity from our Huntington Beach, California facility, ensuring consistent quality and reliable domestic delivery throughout the United States.

Sulfonamides are one of the oldest and most successful pharmacophores in medicinal chemistry — present in antibiotics, diuretics, COX-2 inhibitors, and HIV protease inhibitors. Ester hydrolysis by cellular esterases is the most commonly exploited prodrug activation mechanism — enabling drugs that cannot cross biological membranes as free acids. Chirality matters profoundly in drug action — enantiomers can differ by orders of magnitude in potency, and FDA guidelines increasingly require single-enantiomer development.

Primary applications include sulfonamide pharmacophore installation for antibiotic and diuretic development and prodrug development to mask carboxylic acids and improve membrane permeability. This compound serves researchers and manufacturers across the pharmaceutical, medicinal chemistry, agrochemical sectors. Whether you require L-Alanine benzyl ester 4-toluenesulfonate for early-stage research, process development, or commercial-scale production, ChemContract Research offers flexible ordering from milligram to multi-kilogram quantities with custom synthesis options and full batch documentation including Certificates of Analysis (CoA) and Safety Data Sheets.

Storage & Handling for Sulfur-Containing Compounds

Handling Guidelines

Some sulfur compounds have strong odors. Handle in a well-ventilated fume hood. Consult the SDS for compound-specific hazards. Some esters are volatile and flammable. Handle in a well-ventilated area. Keep away from ignition sources. Handle with standard precautions. Ensure proper labeling of stereochemical identity to prevent mix-ups.

Storage Conditions

Store in a cool, dry place in a tightly sealed container. Protect from moisture and light as specified. Store at room temperature in a tightly sealed container away from heat and open flame. Store under recommended conditions. Some chiral compounds may racemize at elevated temperatures or in the presence of base.
