Description

β-Cyclododecyl Aspartate is a specialized aspartic acid derivative where the amino acid is esterified with a cyclododecanol moiety. This molecular architecture imparts unique steric and lipophilic properties, making it a valuable intermediate for advanced synthesis in performance-driven industries. It is particularly sought after by R&D and production teams in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty polymer sectors for developing novel compounds with enhanced bioavailability or material characteristics.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key chiral building block for the synthesis of complex drug candidates, particularly those targeting neurological or metabolic pathways.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and development of advanced pesticides and herbicides, where its structural features can influence activity and environmental persistence.
• Specialty Polymer Modifier: Acts as a monomer or additive to introduce specific functional groups, influencing polymer chain flexibility, biodegradability, or adhesion properties.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Ingredients: Employed in the formulation of high-end skin care products as a potential carrier or active ingredient precursor due to its ester linkage and lipid-like character.
• Flavor & Fragrance Chemistry: Utilized as a precursor for synthesizing novel aroma chemicals with sustained-release profiles.
• Chemical Research & Development: A versatile scaffold in organic synthesis for creating novel molecular libraries and exploring structure-activity relationships (SAR).

Quality Control

Our β-Cyclododecyl Aspartate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity verification, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay, enantiomeric excess, and impurity profiles.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). The product may be hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption.
