CAS 55-59-4

3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-L-alanine

Description:

3-(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)-L-alanine, also known as a derivative of the amino acid L-alanine, features a phenyl group substituted with two methoxy groups at the 3 and 4 positions. This compound is characterized by its structural complexity, which includes an amino group, a carboxylic acid group, and a side chain that contributes to its unique properties. The presence of methoxy groups enhances its lipophilicity and may influence its biological activity, potentially affecting interactions with various receptors or enzymes. It is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid, soluble in polar solvents, and may exhibit optical activity due to the chiral L-alanine component. This compound is of interest in medicinal chemistry and research due to its potential applications in pharmaceuticals and as a biochemical probe. Its CAS number, 55-59-4, is used for identification in chemical databases, facilitating research and regulatory processes.
