Description

white amorphous powder


Solid


Alpha-phenylglycine is an amino acid with a structure in which a phenyl ring is bonded to the alpha-carbon of glycine. It has a role as a human metabolite.


2-Amino-2-phenylacetic acid is a natural compound that has been identified as a selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), and it exhibits antiinflammatory activity. It has been shown to inhibit COX-2 at low concentrations and to be less potent than aspirin in inhibiting COX-1. It is also an amide, with a molecular weight of 296. In order to determine the structure of it, XRD data was collected from the monosodium salt form of the compound. The ester hydrochloride form was used for enzyme activity assays because it is more soluble in water than the free base form. The synthesis of 2-Amino-2-phenylacetic acid was achieved through a two step process involving amide formation and hydrolysis.

2-Amino-2-phenylacetic acid Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

Benzaldehyde is obtained by cyclization, hydrolysis, and neutralization. Put the ammonium bicarbonate and sodium cyanide solution into the reaction pot, add benzaldehyde dropwise under stirring, and react at 75-80°C for 3 hours to obtain phenylhydantoin. Pump into the autoclave, add sodium hydroxide solution, raise the temperature, vent the ammonia gas generated by the reaction for 1 hour, and then hydrolyze it at 130-160°C for 3 hours. Discharging, adding HCl to neutralize to pH=6-7, centrifuging and drying to obtain DL-2-phenylglycine. There is also a glyoxylic acid route, which can reduce production costs and solve the problem of high toxicity of traditional process raw materials.

Uses

Used to manufacture L-phenylglycine


DL-α-Phenylglycine is used as a reagent in the synthesis of benzoquinone-amino acid conjugates which have antibacterial activity.
