Description
  • Chirality inducing agent.
  • Useful tool as resolving agent to separate the isomers and purify racemic mixtures (e.g. DL-lysine) by fractionally crystallizing the product to obtain the pure isomer (e.g. L-lysine).
  • Can also be used as building block.
  • Insect repellent.
  • Stimulator of osteoblast differentiation.
