Description

Alaninal CAS NO 4744-12-1 is a versatile amino aldehyde derivative, serving as a crucial chiral building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its primary value lies in enabling the stereoselective construction of complex molecules, particularly in the pharmaceutical sector. This high-purity intermediate is essential for research and production chemists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries who require reliable, high-quality raw materials for developing APIs and fine chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key chiral synthon for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially those containing β-amino alcohol or amino acid motifs.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of chiral pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Asymmetric Catalysis: Employed as a ligand precursor or a substrate in asymmetric hydrogenation and other catalytic reactions.
• Peptidomimetics Research: A valuable building block for creating peptide analogs and protease inhibitors in medicinal chemistry.
• Natural Product Synthesis: Facilitates the total synthesis of complex natural products with amino sugar or alkaloid structures.
• Cross-Coupling Reactions: Serves as an electrophilic partner in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling to introduce amino-aldehyde functionalities.

Quality Control

Our Alaninal is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity assessment by HPLC, to meet the stringent requirements of advanced synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment and are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Due to its sensitivity to oxidation and light, prolonged exposure to air or light should be avoided. Keep away from heat sources and incompatible materials.
