(S)-2-Amino-3-(2-fluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)propanoic acid

(S)-2-Amino-3-(2-fluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)propanoic acid, also known as 2-Fluoro-4-trifluoromethyl-L-phenylalanine, is a chiral non-proteinogenic amino acid. Its structure incorporates a trifluoromethyl group and a fluorine atom on the phenyl ring, which can impart unique physicochemical properties such as increased lipophilicity, metabolic stability, and altered electronic characteristics. These features make it a valuable tool in synthetic organic chemistry and drug design, where it can be incorporated into peptides or other complex molecules to investigate biological activity, improve pharmacokinetic profiles, or serve as a scaffold for novel research agents for research use.

• 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. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed hazard information and safe handling procedures. Store in a cool, dry place, away from incompatible materials.
