L-Propargylglycine, also known as (S)-2-Aminopent-4-ynoic acid, is a synthetic amino acid. It is primarily used in the synthesis of folate-conjugates and corresponding metal-chelate complexes. As a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Alkyne group, enabling it to undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with molecules that contain Azide groups.
