CAS 83732-50-7

N-(1-Phenylethyl)glycine methyl ester

Description:

N-(1-Phenylethyl)glycine methyl ester, with the CAS number 83732-50-7, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes a phenylethyl group attached to a glycine moiety, with a methyl 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 methanol and ethanol, but its solubility in water is limited due to its hydrophobic phenyl group. The presence of the methyl ester group suggests that it may undergo hydrolysis to yield the corresponding carboxylic acid and methanol under appropriate conditions. N-(1-Phenylethyl)glycine methyl ester may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical research, particularly in the study of amino acid derivatives and their potential therapeutic applications. As with many organic compounds, handling should be done with care, following appropriate safety protocols to mitigate any risks associated with its use.
