Alanine, 2-methyl-, phenylmethyl ester, hydrochloride

Description:
Alanine, 2-methyl-, phenylmethyl ester, hydrochloride, also known as methylphenylalanine hydrochloride, is an amino acid derivative characterized by its structure, which includes a methyl group on the second carbon of the alanine backbone and a phenylmethyl (benzyl) ester functional group. This compound is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid, soluble in water and polar organic solvents, reflecting its ionic nature due to the hydrochloride salt form. It exhibits properties typical of amino acids, such as the ability to participate in peptide bond formation and act as a building block for proteins. The presence of the phenylmethyl group enhances its hydrophobic characteristics, which can influence its interactions in biological systems. This compound may be utilized in various applications, including pharmaceuticals, biochemistry, and as a building block in organic synthesis. Its hydrochloride form ensures stability and solubility, making it suitable for various laboratory and industrial applications. As with many amino acid derivatives, it is important to handle it with care, following appropriate safety protocols.
