Description

2-(3-Aminophenyl)Butyric Acid is a versatile aromatic amino acid derivative that serves as a critical building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its bifunctional structure, featuring both an aromatic amine and a carboxylic acid group, makes it a valuable intermediate for creating complex molecular architectures. This compound is primarily utilized by research institutions and industrial manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical sectors for developing active ingredients and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those targeting central nervous system (CNS) disorders and inflammatory conditions.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Building block for developing advanced herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators with specific activity profiles.
• Peptide Mimetics & Conjugates: Used to incorporate non-natural amino acid residues into peptide chains to enhance stability, bioavailability, or binding affinity.
• Ligand & Catalyst Development: Serves as a starting material for creating chiral ligands and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) used in asymmetric catalysis.
• Polymer & Resin Modification: Functional monomer for producing specialty polyamides, polyimides, or epoxy curing agents with enhanced thermal or mechanical properties.
• Dye & Pigment Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of azo dyes and high-performance pigments for industrial applications.

Quality Control

Our 2-(3-Aminophenyl)Butyric Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and NMR/IR for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and impurity profiles are available for every shipment. We support compliance with relevant regulatory frameworks for pharmaceutical development.

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 sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product stability and performance.
