Description

n-Methyl-D-Glucamine Hydrochloride is a high-purity, functionalized amino sugar derivative widely used as a key chiral intermediate and complexing agent in advanced chemical synthesis. Its value lies in providing a stable, water-soluble hydrochloride salt form of the versatile N-methylglucamine base, which is essential for ensuring consistent reactivity and handling in sensitive processes. This compound is critically needed by pharmaceutical manufacturers for API synthesis, biochemical researchers for buffer preparation, and specialty chemical producers developing high-value chelating agents and surfactants.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key chiral building block for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in antiviral and diagnostic agent production.
• Biochemical Research & Buffers: Used in the preparation of specialized biological buffers and as a component in cell culture media formulations.
• Complexometric Titration Agent: Serves as a stabilizing agent and chiral selector in analytical chemistry for metal ion complexation and titration.
• Surfactant & Detergent Synthesis: Acts as a hydrophilic head group in the production of non-ionic surfactants and specialty detergents.
• Chelating Agent Precursor: Fundamental starting material for manufacturing advanced chelating agents used in water treatment and industrial cleaning.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Ingredients: Employed in the synthesis of mild, skin-compatible emulsifiers and humectants.

Quality Control

Our n-Methyl-D-Glucamine Hydrochloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis, and residual solvent screening, to ensure it meets exacting standards for pharmaceutical and research applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, impurity profile, and physical characteristics is provided with every shipment. We support compliance with cGMP, ICH Q7, and relevant pharmacopeial guidelines (USP/EP) where applicable.

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 after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect purity and stability.
