2-(trifluoromethyl)phenylalanine

Description:
2-(Trifluoromethyl)phenylalanine, identified by its CAS number 3832-73-3, is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a trifluoromethyl group attached to the phenyl ring of phenylalanine. This modification enhances its lipophilicity and can influence its biological activity and interactions with proteins. The trifluoromethyl group is known for its electron-withdrawing properties, which can affect the acidity of the amino acid's carboxylic group and the reactivity of the amine group. As a non-natural amino acid, it is often utilized in peptide synthesis and drug design, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals that require specific interactions with biological targets. The presence of fluorine atoms can also impart unique properties such as increased metabolic stability and altered binding affinities. Overall, 2-(trifluoromethyl)phenylalanine serves as a valuable tool in medicinal chemistry and biochemistry for exploring structure-activity relationships and enhancing the pharmacological profiles of compounds.
