(2R)-2-Amino-2-(3-chlorophenyl)acetic acid

Description:
(2R)-2-Amino-2-(3-chlorophenyl)acetic acid, commonly known as a derivative of phenylalanine, is an amino acid characterized by its chiral center at the second carbon atom, which is attached to an amino group, a carboxylic acid group, and a 3-chlorophenyl group. This compound exhibits properties typical of amino acids, including the ability to form zwitterions in solution due to the presence of both an amino and a carboxylic acid functional group. The 3-chlorophenyl substituent contributes to its hydrophobic character, influencing its solubility and interaction with biological systems. It may participate in various biochemical pathways and could serve as a building block in peptide synthesis or as a potential pharmaceutical agent. The presence of the chlorine atom can also affect its reactivity and biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. Overall, this compound's unique structure and functional groups make it a subject of study in both organic and medicinal chemistry contexts.
