CAS 89311-51-3
:L-Tryptophan, 2-chloro-N-(trifluoroacetyl)-
Description:
L-Tryptophan, 2-chloro-N-(trifluoroacetyl)-, identified by CAS number 89311-51-3, is a derivative of the essential amino acid L-tryptophan. This compound features a chloro substituent and a trifluoroacetyl group, which significantly influence its chemical properties and reactivity. The presence of the trifluoroacetyl group enhances the lipophilicity of the molecule, potentially affecting its solubility and interaction with biological systems. The chlorine atom introduces additional reactivity, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis. L-Tryptophan itself is crucial for protein synthesis and serves as a precursor for neurotransmitters such as serotonin. The modification of its structure can lead to variations in biological activity, making this compound of interest in pharmaceutical research. Its characteristics include stability under standard conditions, but it may be sensitive to hydrolysis or other reactions depending on the environment. As with many chemical substances, safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound due to potential toxicity and reactivity.
