Cyclopropanecarboxylicacid, 1-amino-2-(trifluoromethyl)-, (1S,2S)-

Description:

Cyclopropanecarboxylic acid, 1-amino-2-(trifluoromethyl)-, (1S,2S)- is a chiral compound characterized by its cyclopropane ring structure, which contributes to its unique reactivity and steric properties. The presence of a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) indicates that it can act as an acid, capable of donating protons in solution. The amino group (-NH2) introduces basicity and potential for hydrogen bonding, enhancing its solubility in polar solvents. The trifluoromethyl group (-CF3) is notable for its electron-withdrawing properties, which can influence the acidity of the carboxylic acid and the reactivity of the amino group. This compound's stereochemistry, denoted by (1S,2S), indicates specific spatial arrangements of its substituents, which can significantly affect its biological activity and interactions. Overall, this compound's unique combination of functional groups and stereochemistry makes it of interest in medicinal chemistry and materials science, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
