Description

Methyl 4-(1-Amino-2-Hydroxyethyl)Benzoate is a high-purity, functionalized benzoate ester derivative that serves as a critical chiral building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its molecular structure, featuring both amino and hydroxy functional groups, makes it a versatile intermediate for constructing complex pharmacologically active molecules. This compound is primarily utilized by research institutions and pharmaceutical development companies engaged in the synthesis of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and fine chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon in the research and development of new therapeutic agents, particularly for central nervous system (CNS) and cardiovascular drugs.
• Peptidomimetic Synthesis: Used in the construction of peptide analogs and mimetics due to its amino acid-like backbone.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Serves as a precursor for chiral ligands used in asymmetric catalysis and metal complex formation.
• Fine Chemical Production: Employed in the multi-step synthesis of specialty chemicals, agrochemicals, and advanced materials.
• Academic and R&D Laboratories: A valuable reagent for methodological studies in organic chemistry and medicinal chemistry programs.

Quality Control

Our Methyl 4-(1-Amino-2-Hydroxyethyl)Benzoate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is subjected to rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity assessment, to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical R&D and fine chemical synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles 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 (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after use to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect stability and handling properties. Keep away from incompatible materials.
