(2R)-2-amino-2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)bicyclo[1.1.1]pentan-1-yl]acetic acid

(2R)-2-amino-2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)bicyclo[1.1.1]pentan-1-yl]acetic acid is a specialized, enantiomerically pure amino acid derivative. Its unique structure incorporates a rigid bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane scaffold substituted with a trifluoromethyl group and an (R)-configured alpha-amino acid moiety. This compound serves as a valuable chiral building block, particularly in medicinal chemistry and materials science, for the synthesis of complex molecules with defined stereochemistry and enhanced physicochemical properties due to the trifluoromethyl group and the strained bicyclic system. It is suitable for research applications requiring precise structural control.

• Handle with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including gloves, eye protection, and a lab coat. Use in a well-ventilated area or fume hood to avoid inhalation. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water. Consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed hazard information and safe handling procedures. Store in a cool, dry place, away from incompatible materials.
