CAS 938-79-4

(-)-2-Phenylbutyric acid

Description:

(-)-2-Phenylbutyric acid, with the CAS number 938-79-4, is a chiral organic compound characterized by its phenyl group attached to a butyric acid backbone. This compound typically exists as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is known for its distinct odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. The presence of the phenyl group contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics, influencing its interactions in biological systems. (-)-2-Phenylbutyric acid is of interest in various fields, including medicinal chemistry, due to its potential biological activities, such as anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects. The compound's chirality is significant, as different enantiomers can exhibit different biological properties. As with many carboxylic acids, it can participate in typical acid-base reactions and can form esters and amides. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
