Description

Alanine, n-Propyl- (9Ci) CAS NO 138062-69-8 is a specialized, non-proteinogenic amino acid derivative featuring a propyl side chain. This structural modification makes it a valuable chiral building block and intermediate in advanced organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries for applications such as peptide mimetics, drug discovery, and the synthesis of complex bioactive molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key chiral synthon in the research and development of new active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for peptide-based therapeutics and enzyme inhibitors.
• Peptidomimetics & Bioactive Molecule Synthesis: Used to introduce structural diversity and modulate the physicochemical properties of peptide analogs, enhancing metabolic stability and bioavailability.
• Agrochemical Research: Employed as a building block in the synthesis of novel herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators that utilize amino acid frameworks.
• Ligand & Catalyst Development: Useful in the preparation of specialized ligands for asymmetric catalysis and metal complexes in material science applications.
• Biochemical Research: Acts as a substrate analog or inhibitor in enzymatic studies to investigate metabolic pathways and protein function.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: A versatile intermediate for the custom synthesis of complex organic molecules requiring a protected or modified alanine moiety.

Quality Control

Our Alanine, n-Propyl- (9Ci) is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity assessment, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and specific impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect quality.
