Butanamide,2-amino-N-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-3-methyl-, (2S)-

Description:

Butanamide, 2-amino-N-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-3-methyl-, (2S)-, also known by its CAS number 72669-49-9, is an organic compound characterized by its amide functional group and specific stereochemistry. This compound features a butanamide backbone with an amino group at the second carbon and a tert-butyl group at the nitrogen, contributing to its unique properties. The presence of a methyl group at the third carbon adds to its complexity. As a chiral molecule, it exists in a specific stereoisomeric form, which can influence its biological activity and interactions. Generally, compounds of this nature may exhibit solubility in polar solvents due to the presence of the amide and amino groups, while their hydrophobic tert-butyl group can impart some lipophilicity. The compound may be of interest in pharmaceutical applications, particularly in the development of drugs or as intermediates in organic synthesis. Its specific characteristics, including melting point, boiling point, and reactivity, would depend on the molecular structure and the surrounding environment.
