Description

1H-Imidazole-4-Carboxylicacid,2-Amino-,Ethylester(9Ci) is a high-purity, functionalized imidazole derivative that serves as a critical building block in advanced organic synthesis. This compound matters for its role as a versatile intermediate in the development of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals, enabling the construction of complex heterocyclic structures. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and fine chemical industries for creating novel active ingredients and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key precursor in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those targeting enzymes and receptors where the imidazole scaffold is pharmacologically active.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and development of new herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators that incorporate amino-imidazole motifs.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Serves as a starting material for creating specialized ligands for metal catalysis and organocatalysts used in asymmetric synthesis.
• Bioconjugation and Probe Chemistry: The reactive ester and amino groups make it suitable for designing fluorescent probes, affinity labels, and bioconjugation reagents for biochemical research.
• Material Science: Employed in the synthesis of organic semiconductors, coordination polymers, and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with specific electronic or catalytic properties.
• Peptidomimetics Research: Utilized to introduce imidazole-based side chains into peptide analogs, mimicking natural amino acids to modulate biological activity and stability.

Quality Control

Our 1H-Imidazole-4-Carboxylicacid,2-Amino-,Ethylester(9Ci) is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and process chemistry. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request. We can support development projects requiring compliance with ICH guidelines and current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) principles.

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. Keep away from incompatible materials.
