Description:N-P-tosyl-L-phenylalanine, with the CAS number 13505-32-3, is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a tosyl (p-toluenesulfonyl) group attached to the nitrogen of the phenylalanine side chain. This compound is typically used in organic synthesis and peptide chemistry due to its ability to act as a protecting group for amines, facilitating the selective modification of amino acids and peptides. The tosyl group enhances the compound's stability and solubility in organic solvents, making it a valuable reagent in various chemical reactions. N-P-tosyl-L-phenylalanine is generally white to off-white in appearance and is soluble in polar organic solvents. Its structure contributes to its utility in the synthesis of more complex molecules, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and biologically active compounds. Additionally, the compound's chirality, stemming from the L-phenylalanine component, is significant in biological systems, influencing interactions with enzymes and receptors.
