Chloroalanine (3-chloroalanine) is an unnatural amino acid with the formula ClCH2CH(NH2)CO2H. It is a white, water-soluble solid. The compound is usually derived from chlorination of serine. The compound is used in the synthesis of other amino acids by replacement of the chloride.[1] Protected forms of the related iodoalanine are also known.[2][3]
Chemical properties[edit]
The hydrolysis of 3-chloro-D-alanine is catalyzed by the enzyme 3-chloro-D-alanine dehydrochlorinase:[4]
- ClCH2CH(NH2)CO2H + H2O →CH3C(O)CO2H + NH4Cl
