Description

D-Alanine, n-Butyl- (9Ci) is a chiral, non-natural amino acid derivative characterized by its D-configuration and an n-butyl side chain. This specific stereochemistry and alkyl substitution make it a valuable building block in advanced organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the fields of medicinal chemistry, peptide science, and as a precursor for chiral catalysts and ligands.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a key chiral synthon in the research and development of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for introducing specific stereocenters.
• Peptide Modification: Used to incorporate non-natural, hydrophobic amino acid residues into synthetic peptides to study structure-activity relationships and enhance metabolic stability.
• Chiral Auxiliary & Catalyst Synthesis: Acts as a precursor for the synthesis of chiral ligands, auxiliaries, and organocatalysts used in asymmetric synthesis.
• Biochemical Research: Employed in enzymatic studies and as a substrate analog to investigate enzyme specificity and mechanism.
• Agrochemical Development: Utilized in the synthesis of chiral compounds for potential crop protection agents.
• Material Science: Can be incorporated into specialty polymers and functional materials to impart specific chiral or hydrophobic properties.
