2-(Methylamino)octanoic acid

Description:

2-(Methylamino)octanoic acid, also known by its CAS number 101080-67-5, is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a methylamino group attached to an octanoic acid backbone. This compound features a long hydrophobic carbon chain, which contributes to its lipophilicity, while the amino group introduces basic properties, allowing it to participate in various biochemical interactions. It is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in polar solvents due to the presence of the carboxylic acid and amino functional groups. The compound may exhibit zwitterionic behavior, depending on the pH of the solution, which can influence its solubility and reactivity. 2-(Methylamino)octanoic acid is of interest in biochemical research and potential applications in pharmaceuticals, particularly in the context of metabolic pathways and as a building block for peptide synthesis. Its specific interactions and biological activities would depend on its structural conformation and the surrounding environment.
