5-Amino-8-methyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)nonanoic acid

5-Amino-8-methyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)nonanoic acid, identified by CAS 2060049-59-2, is an organic compound with the molecular formula C11H20F3NO2 and a molecular weight of 255.28 g/mol. This functionalized nonanoic acid features a trifluoromethyl group at position 3, an amino group at position 5, and an isopropyl group (derived from 8-methyl) in its structure. As a functionalized intermediate, it is primarily intended for research and development applications in organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and materials science. Its unique combination of an amino group, a carboxylic acid, and a trifluoromethyl moiety makes it a versatile building block for synthesizing complex molecules with altered physicochemical properties, such as enhanced lipophilicity or metabolic stability.

• Handle with appropriate personal protective equipment, 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 immediately with plenty of water. Store in a cool, dry place, away from incompatible materials. Consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed safety information before use.
