Description

D-2-Amino-Undecanoic Acid is a high-purity, non-proteinogenic amino acid with a specific stereochemistry and an extended aliphatic side chain. This unique structure makes it a valuable chiral building block and intermediate for advanced organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for developing novel active ingredients and fine chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon for the research and development of novel peptide-based drugs, antibiotics, and other bioactive molecules.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of specialized herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators requiring specific stereochemistry.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a precursor or standard in metabolic studies, enzyme substrate research, and the synthesis of non-natural amino acids.
• Peptide Chemistry: Incorporated into custom peptides and peptidomimetics to alter hydrophobicity, chain length, and biological activity.
• Asymmetric Catalysis: Employed as a chiral ligand or auxiliary in asymmetric synthesis to induce enantioselectivity.
• Material Science: Potential monomer for creating specialized polyamides or surface-modifying agents with unique properties.

Quality Control

Our D-2-Amino-Undecanoic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity verification by HPLC, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, enantiomeric excess, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after use to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling properties.
