Description

6-Heptenoic Acid, 2-Amino-, (2S)- is a chiral, non-proteinogenic amino acid derivative featuring a terminal alkene functional group. This unique molecular architecture makes it a valuable chiral building block and intermediate for the synthesis of complex bioactive molecules. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and pharmaceutical companies engaged in the development of novel therapeutics, peptide mimetics, and specialized fine chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key chiral synthon in the research and development of new active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for introducing specific stereochemistry and functional handles.
• Peptidomimetics & Constrained Peptides: The alkene side chain allows for further chemical modifications, such as ring-closing metathesis, to create conformationally restricted peptide analogs for drug discovery.
• Bioconjugation & Linker Chemistry: Used in the synthesis of specialized linkers or for introducing reactive sites onto molecules for bioconjugation applications in chemical biology.
• Asymmetric Synthesis: Employed as a starting material or auxiliary in asymmetric catalytic reactions to construct complex molecules with high enantiomeric purity.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a versatile intermediate for the production of custom-designed fine chemicals, flavors, and fragrances requiring specific chiral centers.
• Academic & Industrial Research: A critical reagent for methodological development in organic chemistry and for exploring new synthetic pathways in both academic and industrial R&D settings.

Quality Control

Our production of 6-Heptenoic Acid, 2-Amino-, (2S)- adheres to stringent quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is characterized using advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, NMR, and chiral analysis to confirm identity, purity, and enantiomeric excess. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is 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 (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
