Description

(S)-Butyl 2-Aminopropanoate CAS NO 2885-02-1 is a chiral, non-natural amino acid ester derivative of L-alanine. This compound serves as a crucial chiral building block and intermediate in the synthesis of more complex, biologically active molecules. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for applications requiring high enantiomeric purity.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key chiral synthon for the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), including protease inhibitors and other therapeutics.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Building block for creating enantiomerically pure herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Peptide Chemistry: Used in the synthesis of modified peptides and peptidomimetics for drug discovery and biochemical research.
• Asymmetric Synthesis: Employed as a chiral auxiliary or resolving agent in stereoselective organic transformations.
• Fine Chemical Production: Intermediate for manufacturing specialty chemicals, flavors, and fragrances requiring specific stereochemistry.
• Bioconjugation & Linker Chemistry: Useful in the development of bioconjugates and prodrugs due to its reactive amino and ester functional groups.
