(R)-4-(1-Aminoethyl)benzoic acid

Description:
(R)-4-(1-Aminoethyl)benzoic acid, also known as (R)-4-amino-2-(phenyl)butanoic acid, is an amino acid derivative characterized by its chiral center, which contributes to its specific optical activity. This compound features a benzoic acid moiety with an aminoethyl side chain, making it a potential candidate for various biochemical applications, including as a building block in peptide synthesis or as a pharmaceutical intermediate. The presence of both an amino group and a carboxylic acid group allows it to exhibit properties typical of amino acids, such as the ability to form zwitterions in solution. Its chirality can influence its biological activity, making the (R) enantiomer potentially more effective in specific biological contexts compared to its (S) counterpart. The compound is typically soluble in polar solvents, and its stability can be affected by pH and temperature. As with many amino acid derivatives, it may participate in hydrogen bonding and other intermolecular interactions, which can be critical for its function in biological systems.
