Description

Alanine, n-Cyclopropyl- (9Ci) is a specialized non-proteinogenic amino acid derivative featuring a cyclopropyl substituent on the nitrogen atom. This unique structural motif makes it a valuable chiral building block and intermediate in advanced organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research. It is primarily utilized by research chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries for the development of novel active compounds and complex molecular architectures.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key chiral synthon in the research and development of new drug candidates, particularly for incorporating constrained amino acid analogs.
• Peptidomimetics Research: Used to synthesize modified peptides with enhanced metabolic stability or altered biological activity by introducing the rigid cyclopropylamine structure.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Acts as a building block for creating novel herbicides, fungicides, or plant growth regulators with specific stereochemical requirements.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Employed in the preparation of chiral ligands for asymmetric catalysis or metal complexes.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Utilized to create labeled or modified amino acids for studying enzyme mechanisms or protein-protein interactions.
• Fine Chemical Production: Functions as a specialized intermediate in the multi-step synthesis of complex, high-value organic molecules.

Quality Control

We maintain a rigorous quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for research and development purposes. Our standard material is typically supplied at a purity of ≥95% (by HPLC), with specifications tailored to project requirements. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity (HPLC), chiral purity (if applicable), and residual solvent content is provided with each shipment. We can accommodate custom purity grades and analytical protocols to meet specific GMP or ISO guided project needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). The product is moisture-sensitive; keep the original container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere if opened for prolonged periods. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
