2-amino-3-[3-fluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]propanoic Acid

2-amino-3-[3-fluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]propanoic Acid, also known as 3-Fluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)-DL-phenylalanine, is a synthetic amino acid derivative. Its structure features a phenylalanine backbone substituted with a fluorine atom and a trifluoromethyl group on the phenyl ring. These halogen substitutions are commonly employed in pharmaceutical research to modify physicochemical properties, enhance metabolic stability, or alter receptor interactions. As a phenylalanine analog, it may serve as a building block for synthesizing peptides, peptidomimetics, or other complex organic molecules for various research applications, particularly in areas exploring structure-activity relationships in biological systems.

• Handle 2-amino-3-[3-fluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]propanoic Acid with appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves, eye protection, and a lab coat. Work in a well-ventilated area or a fume hood to avoid inhalation. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for comprehensive safety information and emergency procedures. Store in a cool, dry place, away from incompatible materials.
