Alanine, 2-methyl-, phenylmethyl ester

Description:
Alanine, 2-methyl-, phenylmethyl ester, also known as phenylmethyl 2-methylalaninate, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes an alanine backbone with a methyl group at the second carbon and a phenylmethyl (benzyl) ester functional group. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and methanol, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic group. It is often used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The presence of both the amino and ester functional groups allows for various chemical reactions, including hydrolysis and transesterification. Additionally, alanine derivatives are of interest in biochemistry due to their role in protein synthesis and metabolism. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken during use.
