Ac-Val-NH2, also known as N-acetylvaline, is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of an acetyl group attached to the nitrogen of the valine side chain. This compound features a hydrophobic aliphatic side chain, which contributes to its overall properties. Ac-Val-NH2 is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid, soluble in polar solvents such as water and methanol, but less soluble in non-polar solvents. The acetylation of valine enhances its stability and can influence its reactivity, making it useful in various biochemical applications, including peptide synthesis and as a building block in pharmaceuticals. The presence of the amine group (NH2) allows for further chemical modifications, which can be exploited in drug design and development. Additionally, Ac-Val-NH2 may exhibit biological activity, potentially serving as a substrate or inhibitor in enzymatic reactions. Its CAS number, 37933-88-3, facilitates its identification in chemical databases and regulatory documents.

Ac-Val-NH₂

Acetyl-L-valine amide is a stabilizer that belongs to the group of amides. It has been shown to be effective in orienting molecules in a homologous manner, which may enhance the stabilization of these molecules. This molecule also stabilizes pairwise interactions and intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Acetyl-L-valine amide is thermodynamically unstable and can be destabilized by solvents or laser ablation. The interaction between this molecule and other solutes is enthalpic and depends on the solvent's polarity.
