Description

Pyrazinecarboxylic Acid, 3-Amino-6-Cyclopropyl- (7Ci,8Ci) is a specialized heterocyclic building block featuring a carboxylic acid and an amino group on a pyrazine core, further substituted with a cyclopropyl ring. This unique molecular architecture makes it a high-value intermediate for the synthesis of complex active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and advanced agrochemicals. It is primarily sought after by research and development chemists in pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for constructing novel compounds with targeted biological activity.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key synthon for the development of novel drug candidates, particularly in therapeutic areas requiring complex heterocyclic scaffolds.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and production of advanced pesticides and herbicides, where the cyclopropyl group can confer specific biological properties.
• Chemical Research & Development: Serves as a versatile building block in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies and library synthesis.
• Ligand and Catalyst Preparation: Potential precursor for creating chelating ligands or organocatalysts due to the presence of both amino and carboxylic acid functional groups.
• Material Science Research: Investigated for incorporation into specialty polymers or organic electronic materials that require functionalized heteroaromatic units.

Quality Control

Our Pyrazinecarboxylic Acid, 3-Amino-6-Cyclopropyl- is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, documenting critical specifications such as assay, impurity profile, and physical characteristics.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect stability and handling properties.
