2-Fluoro-l-histidine.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, C(6)H(8)FN(3)O(2), an analog of histidine, shows a reduced side-chain pK(a) (ca 1). The title structure exhibits a shortening of the bond between the proximal ring N atom and the F-substituted ring C atom, indicating an increase in π-bond character due to an inductive effect of fluorine.
