4-Nitro-L-phenylalanine monohydrate

Description:
4-Nitro-L-phenylalanine monohydrate is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a nitro group (-NO2) attached to the phenyl ring of L-phenylalanine, which is an essential amino acid. This compound typically appears as a crystalline solid and is soluble in water due to the presence of the monohydrate form, which facilitates hydrogen bonding with water molecules. The nitro group introduces unique electronic properties, making it useful in various biochemical applications, including studies of protein structure and function. It can participate in various chemical reactions, such as nucleophilic substitutions and reductions, due to the reactivity of the nitro group. Additionally, 4-Nitro-L-phenylalanine is often utilized in the synthesis of peptides and as a building block in medicinal chemistry. Its molecular structure contributes to its role in research, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and in the study of enzyme mechanisms. Safety data should be consulted, as nitro compounds can pose health risks if not handled properly.
