Description:N-pentanoylglycine, with the CAS number 24003-66-5, is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a pentanoyl group attached to the amino acid glycine. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in polar solvents due to its polar functional groups. N-pentanoylglycine exhibits properties typical of both fatty acids and amino acids, making it an interesting compound for various biochemical applications. It can participate in peptide bond formation and may play a role in metabolic pathways. The presence of the pentanoyl group can influence its lipophilicity and biological activity, potentially affecting its interactions with biological membranes and proteins. Additionally, N-pentanoylglycine may be studied for its potential applications in pharmaceuticals, as well as in the synthesis of more complex molecules. Its stability and reactivity can vary depending on environmental conditions, such as pH and temperature, which are important factors to consider in experimental settings.
