DL-Phenylalanine, N-[(phenylmethoxy)carbonyl]-a-(trifluoromethyl)-

Description:

DL-Phenylalanine, N-[(phenylmethoxy)carbonyl]-α-(trifluoromethyl)-, identified by CAS number 139520-45-9, is a synthetic compound that belongs to the class of amino acids and derivatives. This substance features a phenylalanine backbone, which is an essential amino acid known for its role in protein synthesis and as a precursor to neurotransmitters. The presence of a phenylmethoxycarbonyl group enhances its stability and solubility, while the trifluoromethyl group contributes to its lipophilicity and may influence its biological activity. The compound is typically characterized by its crystalline structure and may exhibit specific optical activity due to the presence of chiral centers. Its unique functional groups suggest potential applications in pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of drugs targeting neurological conditions or metabolic disorders. As with many fluorinated compounds, it may also possess distinct properties such as increased metabolic stability and altered pharmacokinetics. Safety and handling precautions should be observed, as with all chemical substances, due to potential toxicity or reactivity.
