Description
β-(3-Thienyl)-L-alanine is a non-proteinogenic L-amino acid analogue offered at a minimum purity of 95 %, with CAS number 3685-51-6 and the empirical formula C₇H₉NO₂S. Its molar mass of 171,22 g/mol reflects the incorporation of a 3-thienyl moiety in place of the phenyl ring found in phenylalanine, providing a sulfur-containing aromatic side chain for structure–activity exploration. Laboratories engaged in medicinal chemistry, unnatural amino-acid incorporation, and receptor-binding studies can use this building block to tune hydrophobicity, electronic properties, and metabolic stability. The material is available from manufacturer Carl ROTH as part of a focused biochemical range intended for research-scale synthesis and analytical characterisation workflows.
This article is part of Amino acids & peptides, in Organic chemicals & synthesis reagents.

Questions about β-(3-Thienyl)-L-alanine, min. 95 %, 250 mg
What is this article?
β-(3-Thienyl)-L-alanine, min. 95 %, 250 mg is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Amino acids & peptides, inside Organic chemicals & synthesis reagents, in Lab chemicals.
An amino acid or a peptide is specified by the sequence or the residue, the chirality, and for a peptide the purity and the salt form. L and D forms are different compounds. A trifluoroacetate salt and a hydrochloride salt weigh differently per mole of peptide.
An organic chemical is built on carbon. In this category it is a building block or a reagent for making another molecule: a starting material, a coupling agent, a polymer, a PEG. Purity is a specification of which impurities remain. The structure, the CAS number and the grade decide whether two bottles are the same substance. Structures and properties are on PubChem. Nomenclature is IUPAC. Classification follows ECHA and the CLP Regulation.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Organic chemicals & synthesis reagents. The sub-category is Amino acids & peptides. The catalogue is Lab chemicals.
