Description and Uses

L-Malic acid is nearly odorless (sometimes a faint, acrid odor) with a tart, acidic taste. It is nonpungent. May be prepared by hydration of maleic acid; by fermentation from sugars.

The naturally occuring isomer is the L-form which has been found in apples and many other fruits and plants. Selective α-amino protecting reagent for amino acid derivatives. Versatile synthon for the preparation of chiral compounds including κ-opioid rece
