2-amino-3-[2-fluoro-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]propanoic Acid

2-amino-3-[2-fluoro-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]propanoic Acid (CAS 1259994-87-0, C10H9F4NO2) is a synthetic amino acid derivative. This compound features a phenyl group substituted with both a fluorine atom and a trifluoromethyl group, attached to an alanine backbone. Its unique fluorinated aromatic structure makes it a valuable building block in organic synthesis, particularly in medicinal chemistry and drug discovery where fluorinated compounds are often investigated for their modified physicochemical properties and metabolic stability. It is classified within the research-oriented chemical scaffold, indicating its potential utility as a scaffold or intermediate in the development of novel chemical entities for research purposes.
