Description

Beta,β-Dicyclohexyl-Dl-Alanine is a specialized non-proteinogenic amino acid derivative featuring two cyclohexyl substituents on the beta carbon. This unique structure makes it a valuable chiral building block and intermediate for advanced organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research. It is primarily utilized by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries for applications requiring specific steric and chiral properties.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon in the research and development of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for compounds requiring constrained peptide-like structures.
• Peptidomimetics Research: Used to introduce conformational rigidity and lipophilicity into peptide backbones for creating stable, bioavailable peptidomimetic drug candidates.
• Asymmetric Synthesis: Serves as a precursor or auxiliary in catalytic asymmetric synthesis to construct complex molecules with high enantiomeric purity.
• Agrochemical Development: Employed in the synthesis of advanced herbicides, fungicides, or plant growth regulators where its bulky hydrophobic groups can enhance target binding and environmental stability.
• Ligand and Catalyst Design: Acts as a scaffold for developing novel chiral ligands and organocatalysts used in transition metal catalysis and enantioselective transformations.
• Material Science: A potential monomer or modifier for creating specialized polymers with unique thermal and mechanical properties.

Quality Control

Our Beta,β-Dicyclohexyl-Dl-Alanine is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and chiral analysis, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for identity, purity, and related substances is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
