Butanoic acid, 2-amino-4-[[(1,1-dimethylethoxy)carbonyl]amino]-,methyl ester, (2S)-

Description:

Butanoic acid, 2-amino-4-[[(1,1-dimethylethoxy)carbonyl]amino]-, methyl ester, with the CAS number 125279-44-9, is a chemical compound characterized by its structure, which includes a butanoic acid moiety, an amino group, and a methyl ester functional group. This compound features a chiral center, indicating that it exists in two enantiomeric forms, with the (2S)- configuration being specified. The presence of the 1,1-dimethylethoxycarbonyl group suggests that it has protective characteristics, often utilized in organic synthesis to shield reactive functional groups. The compound is likely to exhibit moderate solubility in polar solvents due to the presence of both hydrophobic (butanoic acid and dimethylethoxy) and hydrophilic (amino and ester) components. Its potential applications may include use in pharmaceuticals or as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of biologically active molecules. As with many amino acids and their derivatives, it may also participate in various biochemical processes, making it of interest in both synthetic and biological chemistry.
