Description

Alanine, n-(Carboxymethyl)- (9Ci) is a chemically modified derivative of the amino acid alanine, featuring a carboxymethyl group on the nitrogen atom. This functionalization makes it a valuable bifunctional building block and chelating agent intermediate for advanced synthesis. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biochemical research, and specialty chemical sectors for developing novel compounds and formulations.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those requiring chelating or metal-binding properties.
• Biochemical Research Reagent: Serves as a specialized building block for peptide modification and the study of amino acid derivatives in metabolic pathways.
• Chelating Agent Synthesis: A key precursor in the production of aminopolycarboxylate chelators for industrial and laboratory applications.
• Cosmetic Ingredient Intermediate: Employed in the formulation of advanced skin care products requiring mild, amino acid-based compounds.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of specialized herbicides or plant growth regulators with enhanced bioavailability.
• Cross-linking Agent: Functions as a linker molecule in polymer chemistry and hydrogel formation due to its carboxylic acid groups.
