Description:(S)-2-(3-Chlorophenyl)glycine, with the CAS number 119565-00-3, is an amino acid derivative characterized by its chiral center, which imparts specific stereochemical properties. This compound features a glycine backbone, where the hydrogen atom of the amino group is replaced by a 3-chlorophenyl group, contributing to its unique biological activity. The presence of the chlorine atom on the phenyl ring enhances its lipophilicity and may influence its interaction with biological targets, such as receptors or enzymes. As a chiral molecule, it exists in two enantiomeric forms, but the (S)-enantiomer is often of particular interest in pharmaceutical applications due to its potential therapeutic effects. This compound is typically studied in the context of medicinal chemistry and drug design, especially for its role in modulating neurotransmitter systems. Its solubility, stability, and reactivity can vary based on environmental conditions, making it a subject of interest in both synthetic and analytical chemistry.
