Description

(R)-2-Amino-3-(2,6-Dimethylphenyl)Propanoic Acid CAS NO 128502-64-7 is a high-purity, non-natural amino acid derivative characterized by its chiral (R)-configuration and sterically hindered 2,6-dimethylphenyl side chain. This compound is a critical chiral building block for the synthesis of complex pharmaceutical intermediates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). It is primarily utilized by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries for developing novel therapeutics and specialty chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon for the research and production of peptidomimetics and small molecule drugs targeting neurological and metabolic disorders.
• API Synthesis: Used in the asymmetric synthesis of complex molecules where the steric bulk and chirality of the side chain are essential for biological activity.
• Agrochemical Research: Serves as a precursor for developing novel chiral herbicides and plant growth regulators.
• Peptide Chemistry: Incorporated into custom peptides to study structure-activity relationships (SAR) and enhance metabolic stability.
• Catalyst & Ligand Development: Employed in the design of novel chiral catalysts and ligands for asymmetric synthesis.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A valuable reagent for methodological development in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry.

Quality Control

Our (R)-2-Amino-3-(2,6-Dimethylphenyl)Propanoic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical R&D and production. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, confirming identity, purity, and specific properties.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 15-25°C. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) when not in use to prevent degradation and moisture absorption.
