Phenylalanine, N-[(1,1-dimethylethoxy)carbonyl]-, ethyl ester

Description:

Phenylalanine, N-[(1,1-dimethylethoxy)carbonyl]-, ethyl ester, with CAS number 4522-04-7, is an amino acid derivative characterized by its structure, which includes a phenylalanine moiety modified with a protective group. This compound features an ethyl ester functional group, which enhances its solubility and stability in various solvents. The presence of the N-[(1,1-dimethylethoxy)carbonyl] group indicates that it is a carbamate derivative, providing steric hindrance that can influence its reactivity and interactions in biochemical processes. Typically, such modifications are employed to protect the amino group during synthesis or to facilitate specific reactions. The compound is likely to be white to off-white in appearance and may exhibit properties typical of amino acids, such as being zwitterionic in nature at physiological pH. Its applications may include use in peptide synthesis, pharmaceutical development, or as a biochemical reagent. As with many chemical substances, safety data sheets should be consulted for handling and toxicity information.
