Hydrochloric Acid → L-Isoleucine--hydrogen chloride (1/1)

Participants

Reaction Steps

a method of adding hydrochloric acid to an aqueous solution containing isoleucine and then repeatedly forming and precipitating crystals of isoleucine hydrochloride (J. Biologc. Chem., 118, 78 (1973)). However, there are the problems that the former method is very cumbersome in operation and difficult to separate isoleucine from valine and leucine, while the latter method results in lower yield because of the high solubility of crystals of isoleucine hydrochloride in water.
