Description

D-Alanine, n-Formyl- (6Ci,9Ci) is a chemically modified derivative of the non-proteinogenic amino acid D-alanine, featuring a formyl group on the nitrogen atom. This specific chiral building block is crucial for advanced organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research, where precise stereochemistry and functional group manipulation are required. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for developing novel compounds, including peptide mimetics and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon in the research and development of novel therapeutic agents and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Peptide Chemistry: Used in the synthesis of modified peptides and peptide mimetics where the N-formyl-D-alanine moiety is required.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a substrate or inhibitor in enzymatic studies and metabolic pathway investigations.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: A building block for creating chiral herbicides, fungicides, and other crop protection agents with specific activity.
• Asymmetric Synthesis: Employed in catalytic asymmetric reactions to introduce chiral centers into complex organic molecules.
• Reference Standard: Used as a high-purity analytical standard for quality control and method development in analytical laboratories.

Quality Control

Our D-Alanine, n-Formyl- (6Ci,9Ci) is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity verification by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) providing specifications for identity, purity, and related substances is available for every lot upon request.

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 moisture absorption, which may affect stability and handling properties.
