(2R)-amino(naphthalen-2-yl)ethanoic acid

Description:

(2R)-Amino(naphthalen-2-yl)ethanoic acid, also known as L-tyrosine, is an aromatic amino acid characterized by its structure, which includes a naphthalene ring and an amino group attached to a two-carbon ethanoic acid backbone. This compound is a non-essential amino acid, meaning that it can be synthesized by the body from phenylalanine. It plays a crucial role in the biosynthesis of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine, making it vital for proper neurological function. The presence of the naphthalene moiety contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics, influencing its solubility and interaction with biological membranes. L-tyrosine is also involved in the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for coloration in skin and hair. In terms of physical properties, it typically appears as a white crystalline solid and is soluble in water, with its solubility being influenced by pH. Its applications extend to nutritional supplements, pharmaceuticals, and research in neurobiology and metabolic disorders.
