4-(2-Aminoethyl)benzoic acid hydrochloride
4-(2-Aminoethyl)benzoic acid hydrochloride (CAS 60531-36-4), with the linear formula H₂NCH₂CH₂C₆H₄CO₂H · HCl and a molecular weight of 201.65 g/mol, is a valuable aromatic amino acid derivative. It serves as a key intermediate and building block in organic synthesis, particularly within the fields of chemical biology, peptide chemistry, and the development of unnatural amino acids. Its structure lends itself to various derivatisations for specialised applications.
Chemical Synthesis Intermediate
Utilised as a precursor in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules. Its dual functionality, featuring both an amine and a carboxylic acid group, allows for diverse chemical transformations.
Peptide Chemistry
Incorporated into peptide sequences to introduce non-natural amino acid residues. This can modify the structural and functional properties of peptides for research or therapeutic development.
Chemical Biology Research
Serves as a building block for creating novel probes or labelled molecules used in biochemical assays and studying biological pathways.
Unnatural Amino Acid Derivative
Acts as a starting material for the synthesis of modified amino acids that are not found in natural proteins, enabling the exploration of novel protein structures and functions.
