2-Naphthylalanine(CAS: 14108-60-2)

2-Naphthylalanine is an amino acid derivative with the chemical formula C10H9NO2. It is a white to off-white powder and is used in pharmaceuticals, research, and as a monomer in polymers.

2-Naphthylalanine is primarily used as a building block in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of prodrugs and as a component in research compounds. It also has applications as a monomer in the production of polymers.

2-Naphthylalanine is generally considered safe when handled properly. However, it can cause skin and eye irritation. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and goggles during handling. Avoid contact with eyes and skin, and do not ingest or inhale the compound.

2-Naphthylalanine should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Store in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture and light exposure. Keep it away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and bases. Maintain a temperature range of 15-25°C (59-77°F) for optimal stability.
