Description

Butanoic Acid, 2-[(Chloroacetyl)Methylamino]- (9Ci) is a specialized organic compound featuring a butanoic acid backbone functionalized with a chloroacetyl-methylamino group. This unique structure makes it a valuable chemical intermediate for the synthesis of more complex molecules, particularly in advanced pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. It is primarily sought by R&D chemists and process development teams in the fine chemical and life sciences sectors who require high-purity building blocks for novel compound libraries and active ingredient development.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key synthon in the research and development of new active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring specific chloroacetyl and amino acid-like functionalities.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production pathway for novel herbicides, fungicides, or plant growth regulators, where its structural motifs can contribute to biological activity.
• Bioconjugation & Probe Development: Acts as a reactive handle in biochemical research for labeling proteins, peptides, or other biomolecules due to the reactive chloroacetyl group.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Employed in academic and industrial laboratories for constructing complex heterocycles or modified amino acid derivatives in medicinal chemistry programs.
• Material Science Research: Potential monomer or modifier in the synthesis of specialized polymers with tailored properties for niche industrial applications.
