Applications
L-Phenylalaninol acts as an antiulcer agent that reduces the secretion of gastric acid and prevents ulcer formation. It inhibits intestinal absorption of L-phenylalanine making it a prospective treatment for phenylketonuria. Further, it reacts with nitriles to form oxazolines, which finds application in palladium-catalyzed allylic substitution. In addition to this, it is also used in amidation for chiral resolution and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide modeling.

Solubility
Soluble in chloroform, ethyl acetate, ethanol and methanol.

Notes
Incompatible with acids, acid chlorides, acid anhydrides and oxidizing agents.
