Description

3-Amino-3-Cyclopropylpropanoic Acid is a high-value, non-proteinogenic amino acid derivative featuring a cyclopropyl moiety. This unique structure makes it a critical chiral building block and intermediate in advanced organic synthesis, particularly for the development of novel pharmaceuticals and bioactive compounds. It is primarily sought after by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries for constructing complex molecular architectures.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially those targeting central nervous system (CNS) disorders and metabolic diseases.
• Peptidomimetics & Drug Discovery: Used to incorporate the constrained cyclopropyl group into peptide backbones, enhancing metabolic stability and modulating biological activity in drug candidate libraries.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a precursor for developing novel herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators with unique modes of action.
• Ligand & Catalyst Development: Employed in the preparation of specialized ligands for asymmetric catalysis and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
• Biochemical Research: Utilized as a probe or substrate in enzymatic studies and metabolic pathway research due to its non-natural amino acid structure.
• Fine Chemical Production: Acts as a building block for specialty chemicals, flavors, and fragrances requiring specific stereochemistry.

Quality Control

Our 3-Amino-3-Cyclopropylpropanoic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and chiral analysis, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific batch results are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

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.
