Description

Dl-Homoserine Lactone Hydrochloride CAS NO 42417-39-0 is a versatile chiral building block and intermediate of significant interest in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research. Its value lies in its role as a precursor for synthesizing more complex molecules, particularly those containing homoserine or lactone moieties. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries developing novel active ingredients and specialty chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon for the synthesis of potential drug candidates, including enzyme inhibitors and bioactive molecules.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in the development of novel herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators that utilize lactone or amino acid derivatives.
• Peptide & Amino Acid Chemistry: Serves as a protected or modified form of homoserine for incorporation into custom peptides and non-proteinogenic amino acid analogs.
• Biochemical Research: Employed in studies of quorum sensing molecules and as a precursor for synthesizing N-acyl homoserine lactone analogs.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: A valuable building block for creating complex organic compounds, flavors, and fragrances requiring specific stereochemistry.
• Academic & R&D Laboratories: Used in methodological development and as a standard in chromatographic analysis for chiral separation studies.

Quality Control

Our Dl-Homoserine Lactone Hydrochloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high purity and consistency, meeting the stringent requirements of research and industrial applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product stability and performance. Keep away from incompatible materials.
