Description

Dl-3-(4-Fluorophenyl)Alanine CAS NO 51-65-0 is a fluorinated aromatic amino acid derivative, serving as a critical chiral building block and synthetic intermediate. Its value lies in the unique bioactivity imparted by the fluorine atom, which can enhance metabolic stability and binding affinity in target molecules. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries, particularly for developing novel active ingredients and conducting structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key chiral synthon for the research and development of fluorinated drug candidates, including potential enzyme inhibitors and receptor modulators.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Building block for novel pesticides and herbicides where the fluorine moiety can improve lipophilicity and environmental persistence.
• Biochemical Research: Used in peptide synthesis and as a non-natural amino acid analog to study protein structure, function, and enzyme mechanisms.
• Organic Synthesis: Versatile precursor for synthesizing more complex fluorinated organic compounds and fine chemicals.
• Material Science: Potential monomer or modifier in the synthesis of specialized polymers with tailored properties.
