CAS 148613-12-1: 2-AMINO-3-(2-FLUORO-5-HYDROXY-PHENYL)-PROPIONIC ACID

Description: 2-Amino-3-(2-fluoro-5-hydroxy-phenyl)-propionic acid, commonly referred to as a fluorinated amino acid, is characterized by its structural features that include an amino group, a propionic acid backbone, and a phenolic ring substituted with a fluorine atom and a hydroxyl group. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in polar solvents due to the presence of both the amino and carboxylic acid functional groups. The fluorine substitution can influence its biological activity and pharmacokinetics, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. The hydroxyl group contributes to its potential as a hydrogen bond donor, which can enhance interactions with biological targets. This compound may be studied for its role in various biochemical pathways or as a potential therapeutic agent. Its specific properties, such as melting point, boiling point, and reactivity, would depend on the conditions under which it is analyzed. As with many amino acids, it may exhibit zwitterionic behavior in solution, impacting its solubility and interaction with other molecules.
