(2R)-Amino(4-fluorophenyl)acetic acid(CAS: 93939-74-3)

(2R)-Amino(4-fluorophenyl)acetic acid has a crystalline form with a molecular weight of approximately 189.11 g/mol. It has a solubility of 3.1 g/L in water at 25°C. This compound is relatively stable under normal conditions but can react with strong bases. It is not flammable and has a low reactivity with common reagents.

(2R)-Amino(4-fluorophenyl)acetic acid can be synthesized through a multistep process involving the protection of the amino group, followed by coupling with 4-fluorophenol, and finally deprotection of the amino group. The synthesis typically yields over 90% purity and requires careful control of reaction conditions to achieve high selectivity and yield.

(2R)-Amino(4-fluorophenyl)acetic acid is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry as a precursor for drug synthesis. It also finds applications in the polymer industry for the development of functional polymers, and in the production of sensors for detecting specific chemicals. Additionally, it can be used in semiconductor manufacturing as a dopant.

When handling (2R)-Amino(4-fluorophenyl)acetic acid, it is important to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, lab coat, and safety goggles. Ensure that the work is done in a well-ventilated area or a fume hood. Spills should be cleaned up immediately with appropriate absorbents and disposed of according to local regulations. Always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed handling and emergency procedures.
