:R-2-Aminododecanoic acid
Description:
R-2-Aminododecanoic acid, also known as 2-aminolauric acid, is an amino acid derivative characterized by a long aliphatic chain and an amino group. It features a dodecanoic acid backbone, which consists of a 12-carbon saturated fatty acid, with an amino group positioned at the second carbon. This structural arrangement imparts both hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties, making it amphiphilic. The presence of the amino group allows for potential interactions in biological systems, such as protein synthesis and enzyme activity. R-2-Aminododecanoic acid is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in polar solvents, while exhibiting limited solubility in non-polar solvents. Its applications may extend to biochemistry, pharmaceuticals, and materials science, particularly in the development of surfactants or as a building block for more complex molecules. Additionally, its unique properties may be leveraged in various research fields, including drug delivery systems and the synthesis of bioactive compounds.
