(2S)-amino(4-nitrophenyl)ethanoic acid

Description:
(2S)-Amino(4-nitrophenyl)ethanoic acid, also known as L-4-nitrophenylalanine, is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of an amino group (-NH2), a carboxylic acid group (-COOH), and a nitrophenyl group attached to the ethanoic backbone. This compound is a chiral molecule, with the (2S) configuration indicating that it has specific stereochemical properties, which can influence its biological activity and interactions. The nitro group (-NO2) on the phenyl ring enhances its reactivity and can participate in various chemical reactions, making it useful in synthetic organic chemistry. The presence of both the amino and carboxylic acid functional groups allows it to act as a zwitterion in solution, contributing to its solubility in polar solvents. This compound is of interest in biochemical research, particularly in studies related to protein synthesis and enzyme activity, as it can serve as a building block for peptide synthesis or as a probe in various biochemical assays.
