Hydrochloric Acid → (+-)-3-Phenyllactic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

An aqueous solution of DL-phenyllactic acid (Sigma-Aldrich Japan) and L-tryptophan (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) was prepared so that the total concentration of the compounds was 400 ppm and adjusted to pH 7 with hydrochloric acid, and the solution was subjected to an adzuki bean root promotion assay (Itagaki et al. 2003. Biological activities and structure-activity relationship of substitution compounds of N-[2-(3-indolyl)ethyl]succinamic acid and N-[2-(1-naphthyl)ethyl]succinamic acid, derived from a new category of root-promoting substance, N-(phenethyl) succinamic acid analogs. Plant Soil 255: 67-75). The base of an adzuki section was immersed in the test solution for 72 hours, and adventitious roots generated 7 days after immersion were counted. The repetition number was 5.
