Catalog Overview
2-Amino-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-(2-fluorophenyl)propanoic acid (CAS 1340437-02-6) is a chiral, non-proteinogenic amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of both trifluoromethyl and 2-fluorophenyl groups attached to the alpha-carbon. Its unique structural features, including multiple fluorine atoms, contribute to altered physicochemical properties such as lipophilicity, metabolic stability, and binding affinity, which are often exploited in drug discovery and agrochemical research. As a functionalized intermediate, it serves as a versatile synthetic precursor for the preparation of novel compounds with potential biological...
