(R)-2-Amino-2-Phenyl-Propionic Acid Hydrochloride

Description:
(R)-2-Amino-2-Phenyl-Propionic Acid Hydrochloride, commonly referred to as phenylalanine hydrochloride, is an amino acid derivative characterized by its chiral center, which imparts specific stereochemical properties. This compound features a phenyl group attached to the alpha carbon of the amino acid backbone, contributing to its hydrophobic characteristics. As a hydrochloride salt, it is typically more soluble in water compared to its free base form, enhancing its utility in various applications, including pharmaceuticals and biochemistry. The presence of the amino group (-NH2) allows it to participate in peptide bond formation, making it relevant in protein synthesis. Additionally, this compound is known for its role as a precursor in the biosynthesis of neurotransmitters and is often studied for its potential therapeutic effects. Its molecular structure and properties make it a subject of interest in both research and industrial contexts, particularly in the development of dietary supplements and medications targeting neurological conditions.
