L-Homoserine is a variant of serine with an additional carbon on its side chain. | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
L-Homoserine is used in the biosynthesis of methionine, threonine and isoleucine. | [Purification Methods]
Likely impurities are N-chloroacetyl-L-homoserine, N-chloroacetyl-D-homoserine, L-homoserine, homoserine lactone, homoserine anhydride (formed in strong solutions of homoserine if slightly acidic). It cyclises to the lactone in strongly acidic solution. It crystallises from water by adding 9 volumes of EtOH. [Greenstein & Winitz The Chemistry of the Amino Acids J.
