N-formylglycine

Description:

N-formylglycine, with the CAS number 2491-15-8, is an amino acid derivative characterized by its structure, which includes a formyl group (-CHO) attached to the amino group of glycine. This compound is typically a white crystalline solid and is soluble in water due to its polar functional groups. N-formylglycine is known for its role in biochemical processes, particularly as an intermediate in the synthesis of various peptides and proteins. It can participate in reactions typical of amino acids, such as forming peptide bonds. The presence of the formyl group can influence its reactivity and interactions with other molecules, making it a valuable compound in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry. Additionally, N-formylglycine can serve as a building block in the development of pharmaceuticals and other biologically active compounds. Its properties, such as melting point and stability, can vary depending on environmental conditions and the presence of other substances.
