Usage: D-Leucine is an important organic chiral source, mainly used in chiral drugs, chiral additives, chiral auxiliaries, and other fields. As an optically active organic acid, it plays an irreplaceable role in the asymmetric synthesis of certain chiral compounds. It is currently primarily used in the production of new broad-spectrum antibiotics, D-leucine, and as a leucine protecting agent in peptide synthesis processes.
