Description

Methyl 7-Aminoheptanoate Hydrochloride is a valuable bifunctional organic intermediate featuring both an ester and a primary amine hydrochloride group. This compound is essential for the synthesis of longer-chain amino acids, peptides, and specialized polymers where a protected amine and a reactive ester moiety are required. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical sectors for developing active ingredients and novel materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in the development of peptide-based drugs and enzyme inhibitors.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of specialized herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators that require a specific aliphatic chain length.
• Polymer Chemistry: Serves as a monomer or chain extender in the creation of polyamides, polyurethanes, and other specialty polymers with tailored properties.
• Bioconjugation & Linker Chemistry: Employed in the design of cross-linking agents and spacer arms for bioconjugation applications in diagnostics and biochemical research.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: A versatile reagent for introducing a seven-carbon amino ester fragment into more complex molecular architectures in research and development.

Quality Control

Our Methyl 7-Aminoheptanoate Hydrochloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
