Description

n-Benzyl-Dl-Serine Methyl Ester is a versatile, non-natural amino acid derivative widely used as a key chiral building block in organic synthesis. Its primary value lies in its role as a protected serine equivalent, facilitating the controlled introduction of the serine moiety into more complex molecular architectures. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries, particularly for the development of peptides, peptidomimetics, and other bioactive compounds.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: A crucial chiral synthon in the research and production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially for peptide-based drugs.
• Peptide Synthesis: Serves as a protected serine residue in solid-phase and solution-phase peptide synthesis, enabling the construction of complex peptide sequences.
• Agrochemical Research: Used as a building block in the development of novel herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Bioconjugation Chemistry: Employed in the modification of proteins and other biomolecules for drug delivery systems and diagnostic applications.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Utilized in the synthesis of labeled compounds and molecular probes for studying biological pathways and enzyme mechanisms.
• Academic & R&D: A fundamental reagent in university and corporate research laboratories for methodological development in asymmetric synthesis.

Quality Control

Our n-Benzyl-Dl-Serine Methyl Ester is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
