CAS 16874-12-7: L-Tyrosine 1,1-dimethylethyl ester
Description:L-Tyrosine 1,1-dimethylethyl ester, with the CAS number 16874-12-7, is an ester derivative of the amino acid L-tyrosine. This compound features a tert-butyl group, which enhances its lipophilicity compared to the parent amino acid. L-Tyrosine itself is a non-essential amino acid that plays a crucial role in the synthesis of neurotransmitters, including dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. The esterification of L-tyrosine can influence its solubility and bioavailability, making it potentially useful in various biochemical applications. Typically, esters like this one are more stable and can be used in drug formulations or as intermediates in organic synthesis. The compound may exhibit properties such as moderate polarity and the ability to participate in hydrogen bonding due to the presence of the amino and hydroxyl functional groups. As with many chemical substances, safety and handling precautions should be observed, as the specific reactivity and toxicity profiles can vary based on the context of use.
