CAS 14173-39-8: 4-Chloro-L-phenylalanine
Description:4-Chloro-L-phenylalanine is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a chlorine atom at the para position of the phenyl ring relative to the amino group. This compound is a chiral molecule, existing in the L-configuration, which is significant for its biological activity. It is often used in biochemical research, particularly in studies involving protein synthesis and enzyme inhibition, due to its ability to act as a phenylalanine analog. The presence of the chlorine substituent can influence the compound's solubility, reactivity, and interaction with biological systems. Typically, 4-Chloro-L-phenylalanine is a white to off-white crystalline solid, and it is soluble in polar solvents. Its molecular structure allows it to participate in various chemical reactions, making it a valuable tool in synthetic organic chemistry and pharmacology. Safety data indicates that, like many chemical substances, it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
