<unk>  is a powdery, white to light yellow crystalline compound. The chemical name of<unk>  is (R)-2-acetamido-N-benzyl-3-methoxypropionamide and the systemic name is N2-Acetyl-N-benzyl-O-methyl-D-serinamide.<unk>  is a functionalized amino acid molecule that has high solubility in water and DMSO, with a solubility of 20.1 mg/mL in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.5, 25 °C). The molecule has six rotatable bonds and one aromatic ring.<unk>  melts at 143-144 °C and boils at 536.447 °C at a pressure of 760 mmHg. Synthesis The following three-step synthesis of<unk>  was proposed in 1996. 500pm (R)-2-amino-3-hydroxypropanoic acid is treated with acetic anhydride and acetic acid. The product is treated first with N-methylmorpholine, isobutyl chloroformate, and benzylamine, next with methyl iodide and silver oxide, forming<unk> . More efficient routes to synthesis have been proposed in recent years, including the following.<unk>  synthesis
