Hexanoic acid,3-amino-2-hydroxy-5-methyl-, (2S,3S)-

Description:
Hexanoic acid, 3-amino-2-hydroxy-5-methyl-, (2S,3S)-, also known by its CAS number 73397-20-3, is an amino acid derivative characterized by its unique structural features. This compound contains a hexanoic acid backbone, which is a six-carbon saturated fatty acid, along with an amino group (-NH2) and a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to the carbon chain. The presence of these functional groups imparts both hydrophilic and hydrophobic characteristics, making it amphipathic. The specific stereochemistry indicated by (2S,3S) denotes the spatial arrangement of the amino and hydroxyl groups, which can influence the compound's biological activity and interactions. Hexanoic acid derivatives are often studied for their potential applications in pharmaceuticals, biochemistry, and as intermediates in organic synthesis. Additionally, the compound's solubility in water and organic solvents can vary, affecting its behavior in different environments. Overall, this compound exemplifies the complexity and versatility of amino acid derivatives in chemical and biological contexts.
