3-Chloro-L-alanine

Description:

3-Chloro-L-alanine is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a chlorine atom at the third carbon position of the L-alanine structure. Its molecular formula is C3H6ClN O2, and it features a chiral center, making it optically active. This compound is typically a white crystalline solid and is soluble in water, which is a common trait for amino acids. 3-Chloro-L-alanine is of interest in biochemical research due to its potential role as a building block in peptide synthesis and its applications in studying protein structure and function. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, influencing metabolic pathways or serving as an inhibitor in certain enzymatic reactions. The presence of the chlorine atom can also impart unique reactivity compared to its non-chlorinated counterpart, L-alanine. As with many chemical substances, handling 3-Chloro-L-alanine requires appropriate safety measures due to its potential toxicity and reactivity.
