D-2-Phenylglycine applications

D-2-Phenylglycine is widely used in the daily life and production. Its applications include:

1. To produce semisynthetic cephalosporin, such as cephalexin, cefaclox, ampicillin, Finn La Kappa, and intermediates to produce synthesize other lactam antibiotics, such as L-phenylglycine chloride hydrochloride.

2. To produce ampicillin, piperacillin, azlocillin, cefroxadine.

3. As the important organic intermediate, D-Phenylglycine is also frequently used to produce veterinary drugs.

However, D-2-Phenylglycine is not the only raw material for synthesizing ampicillin and cephalexin. DL-Phenylglycine and L-Phenylglycine are 2 other raw materials for the same purpose. Their CAS numbers and chemical properties are different. Please pay attention in the procurement process.
