(-)-3-Amino-3-phenylpropanoic acid

Description:

(-)-3-Amino-3-phenylpropanoic acid, also known as L-phenylalanine, is an α-amino acid that plays a crucial role in protein synthesis. It is characterized by the presence of an amino group (-NH2), a carboxylic acid group (-COOH), and a phenyl group attached to the central carbon atom, which contributes to its aromatic properties. This compound is optically active, exhibiting chirality, with the specific configuration denoted by the prefix "(-)" indicating its levorotatory nature. It is soluble in water and has a relatively high melting point compared to many other amino acids. As a building block of proteins, it is essential for the synthesis of neurotransmitters and is involved in various metabolic pathways. Additionally, L-phenylalanine is an important dietary amino acid, as humans cannot synthesize it and must obtain it from food sources. Its CAS number, 40856-44-8, is used for identification in chemical databases and regulatory contexts. Overall, (-)-3-Amino-3-phenylpropanoic acid is significant in both biochemistry and nutrition.

(S)-3-Amino-3-phenylpropionic acid

CAS: 40856-44-8

3-Amino-3-phenylpropionic acid is a β-amino acid that is used in the industrial production of acrylate esters. The acylation reaction of the carboxylic acid group with an alcohol, usually naphthalene or phenol, yields an ester hydrochloride. This is then hydrolyzed to the corresponding amide, which can be further reacted to produce a variety of other compounds. 3-Amino-3-phenylpropionic acid has pharmacokinetic properties that are similar to those of glycine and alanine, but it does not undergo transamination. It also has a very high chloride content and is often used as a reagent for the synthesis of organic chloride salts.
