benzyl (2S)-2-amino-2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)bicyclo[1.1.1]pentan-1-yl]acetate

Benzyl (2S)-2-amino-2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)bicyclo[1.1.1]pentan-1-yl]acetate is a specialized chiral building block for research applications. It incorporates a unique bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane (BCP) scaffold, known for its rigid, three-dimensional structure and potential as a bioisostere in drug discovery. The trifluoromethyl group enhances lipophilicity and metabolic stability, while the benzyl ester and free amino group provide versatile handles for further chemical modifications, such as peptide coupling, amide formation, or deprotection to yield the corresponding carboxylic acid. This compound is valuable in the synthesis of novel pharmaceutical candidates and advanced materials for research and development.

• Handle with appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves, eye protection, and a lab coat. Use in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood to avoid inhalation. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. In case of contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for comprehensive safety information and emergency procedures. Store in a cool, dry place, tightly sealed.
