2-AMINO-2-(4-Methylphenyl)ACETIC ACID

Description:
2-Amino-2-(4-methylphenyl)acetic acid, commonly known as 4-methylphenylalanine, is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) attached to a carbon backbone. This compound features a 4-methylphenyl group, which contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics, making it less soluble in water compared to more polar amino acids. It is a chiral molecule, existing in two enantiomeric forms, which can have different biological activities. The presence of the aromatic ring enhances its stability and can influence its interactions in biological systems. 2-Amino-2-(4-methylphenyl)acetic acid is often studied in the context of protein synthesis and can serve as a building block in peptide synthesis. Its CAS number, 13227-01-5, is a unique identifier used for regulatory and safety purposes. Overall, this compound plays a significant role in biochemical research and has potential applications in pharmaceuticals and biotechnology.
