3,4-Dichloro-L-Phenylalanine Methyl ester

Description:

3,4-Dichloro-L-Phenylalanine Methyl Ester is a synthetic derivative of the amino acid phenylalanine, characterized by the presence of two chlorine atoms at the 3 and 4 positions of the aromatic ring. This compound is typically used in biochemical research and pharmaceutical applications, particularly in studies related to protein synthesis and enzyme inhibition. It is a white to off-white solid that is soluble in organic solvents but may have limited solubility in water. The presence of the methyl ester group enhances its lipophilicity, which can influence its biological activity and absorption in biological systems. As a chlorinated derivative, it may exhibit unique reactivity and interactions compared to its non-chlorinated counterparts. Safety data should be consulted, as chlorinated compounds can sometimes pose environmental and health risks. Overall, 3,4-Dichloro-L-Phenylalanine Methyl Ester serves as a valuable tool in the exploration of amino acid functionalities and their implications in various biochemical pathways.
