Phenylalanine,4-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-

Description:
Phenylalanine, 4-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-, also known as 4-tert-butylphenylalanine, is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a phenylalanine backbone with a tert-butyl group attached to the para position of the phenyl ring. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, but its solubility in water is limited due to the hydrophobic tert-butyl group. It exhibits properties typical of amino acids, including the ability to participate in peptide bond formation, making it relevant in biochemical applications. The tert-butyl group enhances the lipophilicity of the molecule, which can influence its interactions in biological systems. This compound may be used in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and biochemistry, for studies related to protein structure and function, as well as in the synthesis of more complex molecules. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with any chemical substance.
