(S)-ethyl 2-aminopent-4-enoate hydrochloride; CAS No.: 117770-60-2; (S)-ethyl 2-aminopent-4-enoate hydrochloride. PROPERTIES: This compound is an (S)-ethyl 2-aminopent-4-enoate hydrochloride appearing as white hygroscopic powder. Its molecular weight is approximately 207.27 g/mol (free base). It has characteristic sharp melting point around 110-115 C (with decomposition). The compound is highly soluble in water and polar organic solvents. It's moisture sensitive and may absorb atmospheric moisture readily. Store in tightly sealed containers under dry conditions. Keep below 25 C and protect from humidity. Handle with care using appropriate engineering controls to prevent dust inhalation. APPLICATIONS: (S)-ethyl 2-aminopent-4-enoate hydrochloride is used in pharmaceutical research as intermediate for gamma-amino acid derivatives as described in Journal of Organic Chemistry. It's employed in synthesis of certain ACE inhibitor prodrugs mentioned in Journal of Medicinal Chemistry. Additionally, this compound serves as building block for preparing enamide-containing pharmaceuticals reported in Organic Process Research & Development. The ethyl ester group provides valuable site for hydrolysis in prodrug activation mechanisms.
