:2-Aminododecanoic acid
Description:
2-Aminododecanoic acid, also known as 2-aminolauric acid, is an amino acid with a long carbon chain, specifically containing twelve carbon atoms. Its molecular structure features an amine group (-NH2) attached to the second carbon of the dodecanoic acid chain, which is a saturated fatty acid. This compound is typically a white, crystalline solid at room temperature and is soluble in water due to the presence of the polar amine group, while the long hydrocarbon chain contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics. 2-Aminododecanoic acid is of interest in various fields, including biochemistry and materials science, due to its potential applications in surfactants, emulsifiers, and as a building block for the synthesis of more complex molecules. It may also exhibit biological activity, making it relevant in pharmaceutical research. As with many amino acids, it can participate in various chemical reactions, including peptide bond formation, which is essential for protein synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with any chemical substance.
