Alanine, 2-methyl-, ethyl ester

Description:
Alanine, 2-methyl-, ethyl ester, also known as ethyl 2-methylalaninate, is an amino acid derivative characterized by its structure, which includes an ethyl ester group attached to the amino acid alanine. This compound features a branched-chain structure due to the presence of a methyl group on the second carbon of the alanine backbone. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild odor. The substance is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate polarity due to the presence of both hydrophobic (ethyl group) and hydrophilic (amino and carboxyl groups) characteristics. Alanine derivatives are often used in various applications, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as intermediates in organic synthesis. Its biological relevance is highlighted by its role in protein synthesis and metabolism. As with many amino acid derivatives, it may exhibit chirality, leading to different optical isomers, which can have distinct biological activities. Proper handling and storage are essential, as with many chemical substances, to ensure safety and stability.
