2-Amino-3-ethylbenzoic acid

Description:

2-Amino-3-ethylbenzoic acid, also known as 3-Ethyl-2-aminobenzoic acid, is an aromatic amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of both an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) attached to a benzene ring. The molecular structure features an ethyl group (-C2H5) at the meta position relative to the amino group, which influences its physical and chemical properties. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, owing to its polar functional groups. It exhibits properties typical of amino acids, including the ability to participate in acid-base reactions. The presence of the amino group allows it to act as a weak base, while the carboxylic acid group can donate protons, making it amphoteric. 2-Amino-3-ethylbenzoic acid may have applications in pharmaceuticals, organic synthesis, and as a biochemical reagent, although specific uses may vary based on its reactivity and interactions with other compounds.

2-Amino-3-ethylbenzoic acid is an aliphatic amino acid that is involved in the synthesis of polyunsaturated fatty acids. It is found in groundnut, and as a result plays a role in vitellogenesis. 2-Amino-3-ethylbenzoic acid has been shown to have biochemical effects on catfish and juvenile catfish. It can be used to increase the diameter of the eggs produced by these animals, and also has a positive effect on their maturation, enzyme activities, and linolenic acid levels.
