Description

Benzoic Acid, 3-(Aminomethyl)-, Monosodium Salt is a functionalized benzoic acid derivative that combines the aromatic carboxylic acid core with an aminomethyl substituent in the monosodium salt form. This unique structure makes it a valuable building block and intermediate for the synthesis of more complex molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical and specialty chemical research. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the life sciences, agrochemical, and material science industries seeking to incorporate its specific pharmacophore or chelating properties into new compounds.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key starting material or building block for the synthesis of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially those targeting neurological or inflammatory pathways.
• Chelating Agent Precursor: Serves as a precursor for ligands used in metal catalysis, wastewater treatment, or as stabilizers in polymer formulations.
• Bioconjugation Chemistry: The aminomethyl group enables its use in linker chemistry for antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) or protein labeling applications.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Intermediate in the production of advanced herbicides, fungicides, or plant growth regulators.
• Research & Development: Used in academic and industrial labs for method development, structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies, and exploratory synthesis.
• Specialty Polymer Additive: Potential monomer or functional additive for creating polymers with specific ionic or bioactive characteristics.

Quality Control

Our Benzoic Acid, 3-(Aminomethyl)-, Monosodium Salt is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, impurity profile, and residual solvents. Our quality commitment ensures the material is suitable for demanding research and scale-up applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container should be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability, though short-term storage at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) is acceptable.
