N-(2-Chloroacetyl)-L-leucine

Description:
N-(2-Chloroacetyl)-L-leucine, with the CAS number 688-12-0, is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a chloroacetyl group attached to the nitrogen of the leucine side chain. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in polar solvents such as water and methanol, owing to its amino and carboxylic acid functional groups. The chloroacetyl moiety introduces electrophilic characteristics, making it reactive in various chemical reactions, particularly in acylation processes. N-(2-Chloroacetyl)-L-leucine is of interest in medicinal chemistry and peptide synthesis, as it can serve as a building block for more complex molecules or as a reagent in the modification of peptides. Its biological activity may be influenced by the presence of the chloroacetyl group, which can affect interactions with biological targets. As with many chemical substances, handling should be done with care, considering potential hazards associated with the chloroacetyl functionality.
