CAS 20448-79-7: 2-aminobicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-carboxylic acid
Description:2-Aminobicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-carboxylic acid, also known as norbornane-2-carboxylic acid, is a bicyclic compound characterized by its unique bicyclic structure, which consists of a seven-membered ring system. This compound features an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) attached to the same carbon atom, making it an amino acid derivative. It is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in water due to the presence of the carboxylic acid group, which can ionize to form a carboxylate anion. The bicyclic structure contributes to its rigidity and can influence its reactivity and interactions with biological systems. This compound is of interest in various fields, including medicinal chemistry and organic synthesis, due to its potential applications in drug development and as a building block for more complex molecules. Its CAS number, 20448-79-7, is used for identification in chemical databases and regulatory contexts.
