D-Phenylalanine, 4-chloro-, methyl ester

Description:

D-Phenylalanine, 4-chloro-, methyl ester is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes a phenylalanine backbone modified with a chlorine atom at the para position and a methyl ester functional group. This compound is part of the amino acid family and exhibits properties typical of both amino acids and esters. It is generally soluble in organic solvents and may have limited solubility in water due to the hydrophobic nature of the phenyl group. The presence of the chlorine atom can influence its reactivity and biological activity, potentially affecting its interactions in biochemical pathways. D-Phenylalanine is known for its role in various applications, including research in neurochemistry and potential therapeutic uses, particularly in pain management and mood enhancement. As with many chemical substances, safety precautions should be taken when handling it, as it may pose health risks if ingested or improperly managed. Always refer to safety data sheets and relevant literature for detailed handling and toxicity information.
