:(S)-2-Amino-3-(4-ethylphenyl)propanoic acid
Description:
(S)-2-Amino-3-(4-ethylphenyl)propanoic acid, commonly known as L-phenylalanine ethyl ester, is an amino acid derivative characterized by its chiral center, which imparts specific stereochemical properties. This compound features an amino group (-NH2), a carboxylic acid group (-COOH), and a side chain consisting of a 4-ethylphenyl group, contributing to its unique properties and potential biological activity. It is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in water, reflecting its polar nature due to the presence of the amino and carboxylic acid functional groups. The compound is of interest in biochemical research and pharmaceutical applications, particularly in the study of neurotransmitter synthesis and protein structure. Its chirality is significant, as the (S)-enantiomer is often the biologically active form, influencing its interaction with biological systems. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as with many amino acids and their derivatives, due to potential irritant properties.
