Description

o-2-Propenyl-Tyrosine is a specialized, non-proteinogenic tyrosine derivative where the phenolic hydroxyl group is substituted with a propenyl (allyl) moiety. This structural modification makes it a valuable synthetic intermediate and building block in advanced organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research. It is primarily utilized by research chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and fine chemical industries for the development of novel bioactive compounds and complex molecular architectures.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly in medicinal chemistry programs targeting enzyme inhibitors or receptor modulators.
• Peptidomimetics Research: Used to incorporate non-natural amino acid residues into peptide chains to enhance metabolic stability, bioavailability, or binding affinity.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Serves as a precursor for creating labeled or tagged molecules used to study biological pathways and protein functions.
• Ligand Synthesis: Employed in the development of specialized ligands for catalysis or metal complexation studies.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: Fundamental research reagent for exploring new synthetic methodologies and chemical reactions involving functionalized aromatic amino acids.
• Custom Synthesis: Starting material for the contract manufacturing of bespoke organic compounds for client-specific applications.

Quality Control

Our o-2-Propenyl-Tyrosine is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral purity analysis, and identity confirmation (IR, NMR) to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at 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.
