Benzeneacetic acid, α-amino-4-methoxy-, ethyl ester

Description:

Benzeneacetic acid, α-amino-4-methoxy-, ethyl ester, also known by its CAS number 77648-21-6, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes a benzene ring, an acetic acid moiety, an amino group, and a methoxy group, along with an ethyl ester functional group. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid or crystalline substance. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and methanol, but its solubility in water is limited. The presence of the amino group suggests potential for biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical research. The methoxy group can influence the compound's reactivity and interaction with biological systems. Additionally, the ethyl ester form may enhance its lipophilicity, affecting its absorption and distribution in biological contexts. As with many organic compounds, safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as it may pose health risks if not managed properly.
