Applications:

D-Alanine is an important chiral source, primarily used in chiral additives and chiral auxiliaries. In the food industry, it serves as a chiral source for chiral synthesis. As an optically active organic acid, it plays an irreplaceable role in the asymmetric synthesis of certain chiral compounds. Currently, it is mainly used in the production of D-alaninol, as an alanine protecting agent in peptide synthesis, and in the synthesis of the new sweetener Alitame.
