:Alanine, 3-azido-
Description:
Alanine, 3-azido- is an organic compound characterized by the presence of an azido group (-N3) attached to the third carbon of the alanine backbone. It is an amino acid derivative, which means it contains both an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH), typical of amino acids. The azido group is known for its reactivity, particularly in click chemistry, making this compound of interest in various synthetic applications, including bioconjugation and drug development. The presence of the azido group can enhance the compound's ability to participate in nucleophilic reactions, allowing for the introduction of other functional groups. Alanine itself is a non-polar, aliphatic amino acid, and the modification with the azido group can alter its solubility and reactivity. This compound is typically handled with care due to the potential hazards associated with azido compounds, which can be explosive under certain conditions. Overall, Alanine, 3-azido- serves as a valuable tool in chemical biology and medicinal chemistry research.
