Description

3-Aminopentanedioic Acid is a versatile chiral amino dicarboxylic acid building block of significant importance in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research. Its bifunctional structure, containing both an amine and two carboxylic acid groups, makes it a valuable intermediate for constructing complex molecules and peptidomimetics. This compound is primarily utilized by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries for developing new active ingredients and specialty materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly in neurological and metabolic research.
• Peptide Mimetic Synthesis: Used to create constrained peptide analogs and modify peptide backbones to enhance stability and bioavailability.
• Chiral Auxiliary/Resolving Agent: Employed in asymmetric synthesis due to its stereogenic center for the preparation of enantiomerically pure compounds.
• Agrochemical Research: Intermediate in the development of new herbicides, pesticides, and plant growth regulators.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a precursor or analog in studies of glutamate metabolism and related biochemical pathways.
• Coordination Chemistry & Ligand Synthesis: Used to prepare chelating ligands for metal complexes in catalysis and material science.
• Polymer Modification: Functional monomer for introducing amine and carboxylate groups into polymeric materials.

Quality Control

Our 3-Aminopentanedioic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, purity assay, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity (typically ≥97% by HPLC), chiral purity, and related substances is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using a desiccant.
