Description

Acetic Acid, (6-Methyl-3-Oxopiperazinylidene)-, Methyl Ester (9Ci) is a specialized heterocyclic building block and synthetic intermediate of significant interest in advanced organic synthesis. Its core value lies in its unique piperazine-dione scaffold, which is a privileged structure for developing pharmacologically active molecules. This compound is primarily needed by research and development chemists in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for constructing novel active ingredients and exploring new chemical entities.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key building block for the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those targeting central nervous system (CNS) disorders, antimicrobial agents, and enzyme inhibitors.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in the development of new herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides, leveraging its heterocyclic core for bioactivity.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a versatile precursor for the preparation of complex piperazine and diketopiperazine derivatives in academic and industrial research settings.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Potential use in creating novel chelating ligands or organocatalysts due to its nitrogen and oxygen donor atoms.
• Material Science Precursor: Can be utilized in the synthesis of specialty polymers or functionalized materials requiring specific heterocyclic motifs.

Quality Control

Our Acetic Acid, (6-Methyl-3-Oxopiperazinylidene)-, Methyl Ester (9Ci) is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and MS, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. We support cGMP standards for pharmaceutical applications and can tailor purity grades to meet specific research or production needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
