Description

3-(4-Aminocyclohexyl)Propanoic Acid is a versatile bifunctional organic compound featuring both an amine and a carboxylic acid group on a cyclohexyl backbone. This unique structure makes it a valuable pharmaceutical intermediate and building block for the synthesis of more complex molecules. It is primarily sought after by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for developing new active ingredients and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral building block in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those targeting the central nervous system (CNS) and other therapeutic areas.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and development of advanced herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Peptide Mimetics & Linker Chemistry: The amine and carboxyl groups allow it to function as a spacer or linker in peptide analogs and bioconjugation processes.
• Polymer Modification: Serves as a monomer or cross-linking agent for producing specialty polyamides, polyurethanes, and coatings with enhanced properties.
• Ligand & Catalyst Preparation: Utilized in the preparation of chiral ligands for asymmetric catalysis and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
• Research & Development: A critical reagent in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new chemical entities and synthetic pathways.

Quality Control

Our 3-(4-Aminocyclohexyl)Propanoic Acid is produced under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and titration methods, to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are available for all shipments to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
