| biological activity | DL-Tyrosine is an aromatic non-essential amino acid synthesized from the essential amino acid phenylalanine. DL-Tyrosine is the precursor of several important neurotransmitters (epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine). |
| Use | for biochemical studies. |
| production method | L-tyrosine is used as raw material, acetic anhydride is added for acylation reaction to obtain O,N-diacetyl-L-tyrosine, O,N-diacetyl-L-tyrosine was hydrolyzed with hydrochloric acid and treated with activated carbon to obtain a pure product. |
