Description

n-Acetyl-DL-valine is a chemically modified derivative of the essential amino acid valine, where an acetyl group is attached to the amino functionality. This modification enhances its stability and alters its physicochemical properties, making it a valuable building block and intermediate in sophisticated chemical synthesis. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and industrial manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and fine chemical sectors for applications ranging from peptide synthesis to biochemical research.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and complex drug molecules.
• Peptide Synthesis: Used as a protected amino acid derivative in solid-phase and solution-phase peptide synthesis to construct specific peptide sequences.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a substrate or standard in enzymatic studies, metabolic pathway analysis, and proteomics research.
• Fine Chemical Production: An intermediate in the manufacture of specialty chemicals, catalysts, and ligands for asymmetric synthesis.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Potential use as a precursor for synthesizing conditioning agents or bioactive compounds in skincare formulations.
• Academic & R&D: Employed in university and corporate laboratories for method development and exploratory chemistry projects.

Quality Control

Our n-Acetyl-DL-valine is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis, and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

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). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect quality and stability.
