2,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)-DL-phenylalanine

2,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)-DL-phenylalanine is a synthetic amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of two trifluoromethyl (-CF3) groups at the 2 and 5 positions of the phenyl ring, attached to a DL-phenylalanine backbone. With a CAS number of 1260002-85-4 and a molecular formula of C11H9F6NO2, this compound has a molecular weight of 301.18 g/mol. Its unique structural features, particularly the electron-withdrawing trifluoromethyl groups, make it a valuable building block in the synthesis of complex organic molecules, especially in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research where fluorine incorporation can modulate physicochemical properties and biological activity. It is supplied for research use only.

• Handle 2,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)-DL-phenylalanine in a well-ventilated area or fume hood. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety goggles, gloves, and a lab coat, to prevent skin and eye contact. Avoid inhalation of dust or vapors. In case of contact, wash thoroughly with soap and water. Store in a cool, dry place, away from incompatible materials. Consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for comprehensive safety information before use. This product is for research use only and not for human or animal consumption.
