N-(4-chlorobenzyl)glycine

Description:

N-(4-chlorobenzyl)glycine, with the CAS number 90562-54-2, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes a glycine moiety attached to a 4-chlorobenzyl group. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, owing to the presence of the amino and carboxylic acid functional groups from the glycine part. The 4-chlorobenzyl substituent contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics, influencing its overall solubility and reactivity. N-(4-chlorobenzyl)glycine may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical research, particularly in the study of neurotransmitter systems or as a potential therapeutic agent. Its synthesis generally involves the reaction of glycine with 4-chlorobenzyl halides or related derivatives. As with many organic compounds, handling should be done with care, considering potential toxicity and environmental impact. Proper safety protocols should be followed when working with this substance in laboratory settings.
