The naturally occuring isomer is the L-form which has been found in apples and many other fruits and plants. Selective alpha-amino protecting reagent for amino acid derivatives. Versatile synthon for the preparation of chiral compounds including kappa-opioid receptor agonists, 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 analogue, and phoslactomycin B. Used to selectively protect the a-amino group of amino acids.It is the starting material for the preparation of chiral compounds.
