Description

Glycine, N-(Mercaptoacetyl)-N-Methyl- (9Ci) is a specialized organic compound featuring both a glycine backbone and a reactive thiol (mercapto) group. This unique structure makes it a valuable building block and intermediate in advanced chemical synthesis, particularly for introducing sulfur-containing functionalities. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical researchers and fine chemical manufacturers developing novel active ingredients and complex molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key synthon in the research and development of new drug candidates, especially those requiring thiol or disulfide linkages.
• Peptide Modification: Used to introduce mercaptoacetyl groups into peptide chains for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies or to create conjugates.
• Bioconjugation Chemistry: Acts as a linker or functional handle for attaching payloads (e.g., drugs, probes) to proteins, antibodies, or other biomolecules.
• Chemical Synthesis Building Block: Employed in organic synthesis to construct more complex sulfur-containing heterocycles or specialty chemicals.
• Research & Development: Utilized in academic and industrial labs for methodological development in synthetic chemistry and biochemistry.

Quality Control

Our Glycine, N-(Mercaptoacetyl)-N-Methyl- (9Ci) is produced under controlled conditions to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and purity and identification by spectroscopic methods. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep the container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, away from incompatible materials.
