Description

(R)-2-(3'-Butenyl) Alanine is a non-proteinogenic amino acid derivative featuring a chiral center and a terminal alkene functional group. This unique structure makes it a valuable chiral building block and intermediate in advanced organic synthesis. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and pharmaceutical companies for the development of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), peptide mimetics, and other bioactive compounds.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon in the research and development of new therapeutic agents, particularly for incorporating unnatural amino acid motifs into drug candidates.
• Peptide Chemistry: Used in solid-phase and solution-phase peptide synthesis to introduce structural diversity and modulate the physicochemical properties of peptides.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Serves as a precursor for synthesizing labeled compounds or probes to study biological pathways and enzyme mechanisms.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Employed in the synthesis of chiral ligands for asymmetric catalysis or as a component in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
• Agrochemical Research: Acts as an intermediate in the development of novel, biologically active compounds for crop protection.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A versatile building block for methodological studies in organic synthesis and material science.
