Sarcosine,2,4,6-trimethylbenzyl ester (8CI)

Description:

Sarcosine, 2,4,6-trimethylbenzyl ester, also known by its CAS number 802048-75-5, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of esters. It is derived from sarcosine, an amino acid, and features a benzyl group that is substituted with three methyl groups at the 2, 4, and 6 positions, contributing to its unique structural characteristics. This compound is typically characterized by its moderate polarity, which influences its solubility in various organic solvents. The presence of the trimethylbenzyl moiety enhances its hydrophobic properties, making it less soluble in water. Sarcosine derivatives are often studied for their potential applications in pharmaceuticals and biochemistry, particularly due to their roles in metabolic pathways and their interactions with biological systems. Additionally, the compound may exhibit interesting biological activities, although specific data on its pharmacological effects may vary. As with many chemical substances, safety data sheets should be consulted for handling and storage guidelines, as well as potential hazards associated with its use.
