α-Methyl-(R)-tryptophan methyl ester is a synthetic chemical compound with the molecular formula C13H16N2O3. It is a derivative of tryptophan, an essential amino acid, where an α-methyl group is added to the carbon atom adjacent to the carboxyl group, and a methyl ester group is attached to the carboxylic acid. α-methyl-(R)-tryptophan methyl ester is often used in pharmaceutical research and development, particularly in the synthesis of various drugs and bioactive molecules, due to its structural similarity to tryptophan. It can also be employed as a chiral building block in the preparation of enantiomerically pure compounds. The compound is typically synthesized through a series of chemical reactions, including the protection of the amino group as a carbamate, followed by α-methylation and esterification. Its applications span across various fields, including the development of new therapeutic agents, the study of enzyme mechanisms, and the creation of novel materials with specific biological activities.

Check Digit Verification of cas no

The CAS Registry Mumber 96551-27-8 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 9,6,5,5 and 1 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 2 and 7 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 96551-27:
(7*9)+(6*6)+(5*5)+(4*5)+(3*1)+(2*2)+(1*7)=158
158 % 10 = 8
So 96551-27-8 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
