L-Alanine 1,1-dimethylethyl ester

Description:
L-Alanine 1,1-dimethylethyl ester, with the CAS number 21691-50-9, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of amino acid esters. It is derived from L-alanine, an essential amino acid, and is characterized by the presence of a tert-butyl group (1,1-dimethylethyl) esterified to the carboxyl group of the amino acid. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate stability under standard conditions. L-Alanine itself plays a crucial role in protein synthesis and is involved in various metabolic processes. The esterification of L-alanine enhances its lipophilicity, which can influence its bioavailability and reactivity in biochemical applications. Additionally, this compound may be utilized in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as a building block in organic synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance.
