Chemical Properties
Light yellow to yellow crystal or powder
Uses
FDAA was used as derivatizing reagent, in a study performed to understand unusual amino acids using reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (RPHPLC-ESI-MS).
Uses
N-α-(2,4-Dinitro-5-fluorophenyl)-L-alaninamide is suitable for use for the derivatization of amino acids. glutamate and analine present in cell wall. Derivatized?D- and?L-amino acids can be resolved and quantitated by HPLC.
Uses
(S)-2-(5-fluoro-2,4-dinitrophenylaMino)propanaMide can be used for chiral amino acid analysis.
General Description
N
α-(2,4-Dinitro-5-fluorophenyl)-L-alaninamide (FDAA) is a chiral derivatizing agent (CDA), has high enantioselectivity but low sensitivity as compared to other CDAs. It is generally used to assign the stereochemistry of amino acids in trace amounts.
Biochem/physiol Actions
N-α-(2,4-Dinitro-5-fluorophenyl)-L-alaninamide (FDAA) is a chiral derivatizing agent and is used routinely to improve the detection of underivatized amino acids in high performance liquid chromatography. Its usage is effective in separating stereoisomer.
