Description

2-Aminopent-4-en-1-ol is a versatile chiral amino alcohol building block featuring both an amine and a hydroxyl group on a pentene backbone. This unique bifunctional structure makes it a valuable intermediate for the synthesis of complex molecules in pharmaceutical and fine chemical research. It is particularly sought after by R&D chemists and process development scientists working in medicinal chemistry and asymmetric synthesis. The compound's reactive sites allow for selective functionalization, enabling the construction of diverse chemical libraries and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon for the research and development of novel drug candidates, particularly in oncology and central nervous system (CNS) therapeutic areas.
• Asymmetric Catalyst Ligand Precursor: Used to synthesize chiral ligands for transition metal catalysts, which are essential for producing enantiomerically pure compounds.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a building block for creating complex, high-value specialty chemicals used in agrochemicals and advanced materials.
• Academic & Industrial Research: Employed in methodological studies and process chemistry for developing new synthetic routes and scaling up reactions.
• Peptidomimetic Chemistry: The amino alcohol moiety is useful in designing and synthesizing peptide analogs and mimetics for biological evaluation.

Quality Control

Every batch of 2-Aminopent-4-en-1-ol is produced and tested under a strict quality management system to ensure consistency and reliability for your research and production needs. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request, providing detailed results for purity, identity, and impurity profiles.

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 tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
