L-4-Cyanophenylalanine - Introduction

L-4-Cyanophenylalanine, also known as L-4-cyanophenylalanine, is an organic compound. Its chemical formula is C9H10N2O2 and its molecular weight is 182.19g/mol. L-4-Cyanophenylalanine is an aromatic amino acid having a cyano group (-CN) substituted for the 4-position of phenylalanine.

The main use of L-4-cyanophenylalanine is in biomedical research, especially in protein engineering and drug design. Due to the introduction of the cyano group, it can be used as a tool for labeling analysis, drug transport research and protein structure function research.

L-4-cyanophenylalanine can be prepared by chemical synthesis. One commonly used method is the reaction of phenylalanine with sodium cyanide under basic conditions to produce L-4-cyanophenylalanine. Other related compounds can also be prepared by other methods, such as the addition reaction of an imide and the cyanation reaction of an amide.

When using L-4-cyanophenylalanine, you need to pay attention to its safety. Due to the presence of cyano, it has a certain toxicity, can cause harm to the human body. During use, it is necessary to operate strictly in accordance with relevant safety operating procedures to avoid direct contact and inhalation. At the same time, it is necessary to properly store and dispose of waste to avoid pollution to the environment.
