:Alanine, N-(2-hydroxyethyl)- (9CI)
Description:
Alanine, N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-, also known by its CAS number 121307-72-0, is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of an alanine backbone with a hydroxyethyl group attached to the nitrogen atom of the amino group. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in water due to its polar functional groups. It exhibits properties common to amino acids, such as the ability to participate in hydrogen bonding and act as a zwitterion under physiological conditions. The hydroxyethyl substituent enhances its hydrophilicity, making it useful in various biochemical applications, including as a potential building block in peptide synthesis and in formulations for pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Additionally, it may play a role in metabolic processes and can be involved in the synthesis of other biomolecules. Safety data indicates that, like many amino acid derivatives, it should be handled with care, although specific toxicity and safety profiles should be consulted for detailed information.
