N-(2-Chloroacetyl)-L-valine, with the CAS number 2279-16-5, is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a chloroacetyl group attached to the nitrogen of the L-valine structure. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in polar solvents such as water and methanol, owing to its amino and carboxylic acid functional groups. The chloroacetyl moiety introduces reactivity, making it useful in various chemical synthesis applications, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The presence of the chiral L-valine backbone contributes to its potential biological activity, as amino acids play crucial roles in protein synthesis and metabolic pathways. Additionally, N-(2-Chloroacetyl)-L-valine can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions due to the electrophilic nature of the chloroacetyl group, allowing for further functionalization. Safety data should be consulted, as compounds with halogenated groups can pose health risks, and appropriate handling and disposal measures should be followed.

CHLOROACETYL-L-VALINE

N-Chloroacetyl-L-valine

N-Chloroacetyl-L-valine is a chiral amino acid that is synthesized by the racemization of L-valine. It has been shown to be an intermediate in the biosynthesis of N-acetyl-L-tyrosine, which is a key intermediate for the synthesis of dopamine, serotonin and epinephrine. A sequence analysis of this product revealed a number of hydrophobic interactions with residues in proteins. The optimum pH for this product is around 7.0 and it can be used as an expression plasmid in actinomycetes. This product also binds metal ions such as dodecyl ion, which may have functional groups such as n-acetyl-l-tyrosine or metal ion binding sites.
