GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS |
||
| Sarcosine , also known as methyl-glycoccoll, is an amino acid intermediate naturally found in the metabolism of choline to glycine. Commercially, synthetic sarcosine is obtained by the reaction of methylamine with monochloracetic acid. It is adeliquescent crystal; having sweet taste; dissolve in water, slightly soluble in alcohol; decomposes at 208 C. It is used in manufacturing biodegradable surfactants and toothpastes as well as in biological applications. | ||
