Description

3-(1-Aminoethyl)Benzoic Acid Hydrochloride is a high-purity organic salt that serves as a critical building block in advanced chemical synthesis. This compound is valued for its bifunctional structure, containing both a carboxylic acid and a primary amine hydrochloride, which makes it a versatile intermediate for constructing complex molecular architectures. It is primarily sought after by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors for the development of active ingredients and novel compounds.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for molecules requiring a benzoic acid and ethylamine backbone.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and production of advanced herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Peptide Mimetics & Linker Chemistry: The amine and acid functionalities make it suitable for constructing peptide-like structures or as a spacer/linker in bioconjugation and prodrug development.
• Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs): Potential intermediate for the synthesis of electron-transport or emissive layer materials in electronic applications.
• Ligand Synthesis for Catalysis: Serves as a starting material for creating chiral or achiral ligands used in asymmetric catalysis and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
• Academic & Industrial Research: A valuable reagent for medicinal chemistry programs and material science research exploring new polymers and fine chemicals.

Quality Control

Our 3-(1-Aminoethyl)Benzoic Acid Hydrochloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and titration methods, to ensure high chemical purity and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling properties.
