(αS)-α-Amino-3-methylbenzeneacetic acid

Description:
(αS)-α-Amino-3-methylbenzeneacetic acid, also known as a specific amino acid derivative, is characterized by its structural features that include an amino group (-NH2), a carboxylic acid group (-COOH), and a phenyl ring with a methyl substituent. This compound is a chiral molecule, meaning it exists in two enantiomeric forms, with the (αS) designation indicating the specific stereochemistry of the amino group. It is typically soluble in polar solvents due to the presence of the amino and carboxylic acid functional groups, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. The compound may exhibit biological activity, potentially acting as a neurotransmitter or a precursor in biochemical pathways. Its properties, such as melting point, boiling point, and reactivity, can vary based on the specific conditions and the presence of other substances. As with many amino acids and their derivatives, it may play a role in pharmaceutical applications or as a building block in peptide synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with all chemical substances.
