Description

S-2-Aminoheptanoic Acid is a chiral, non-proteinogenic amino acid with a seven-carbon alkyl chain. This compound serves as a valuable chiral building block and intermediate in advanced organic synthesis, particularly for the development of pharmaceuticals and bioactive molecules. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries who require high-purity, enantiomerically pure intermediates for drug discovery and process development.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key chiral synthon for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), peptidomimetics, and novel drug candidates.
• Agrochemical Research: Building block for developing chiral herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Peptide Chemistry: Used in the synthesis of modified peptides and peptide analogs to study structure-activity relationships.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a substrate or inhibitor in enzymatic studies and metabolic pathway investigations.
• Asymmetric Synthesis: Employed as a chiral auxiliary or starting material in stereoselective catalytic reactions.
• Fine Chemical Production: Intermediate for manufacturing specialty chemicals, flavors, and fragrances requiring specific stereochemistry.

Quality Control

Our S-2-Aminoheptanoic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity (enantiomeric excess) and chemical purity determination by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are provided for every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
