2-Phenyl-3-aminopropionic acid methyl ester

Description:

2-Phenyl-3-aminopropionic acid methyl ester, with the CAS number 99092-02-1, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes a phenyl group, an amino group, and a methyl ester functional group. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid or crystalline substance. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and methanol, but its solubility in water is limited due to its hydrophobic phenyl group. The presence of the amino group suggests that it may exhibit basic properties, while the carboxylic acid moiety (in its acid form) can participate in hydrogen bonding, influencing its reactivity and interactions. This compound may be of interest in pharmaceutical research and synthesis, particularly in the development of amino acid derivatives or as intermediates in organic synthesis. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be taken when handling it, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment to avoid inhalation or skin contact.
