(2S)-hydroxy(4-nitrophenyl)ethanoic acid

Description:
(2S)-hydroxy(4-nitrophenyl)ethanoic acid, also known as L-tyrosine 4-nitrophenyl ester, is an organic compound characterized by its specific stereochemistry and functional groups. It features a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) attached to a two-carbon ethanoic backbone, along with a nitrophenyl group at the para position of the aromatic ring. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in polar solvents due to the presence of the hydroxyl and carboxylic acid groups. Its structure allows for potential interactions such as hydrogen bonding, which can influence its reactivity and solubility. The nitro group (-NO2) contributes to its electron-withdrawing properties, affecting the compound's overall reactivity and stability. This substance may be of interest in biochemical applications, particularly in studies related to amino acid derivatives or as a potential intermediate in organic synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as nitro compounds can pose health risks.
