Description

L-Alanine, n-(Cyanocarbonyl)-, Ethyl Ester (9Ci) is a specialized, high-purity chemical building block designed for advanced synthetic applications. This compound matters for its role as a key intermediate in the synthesis of complex molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical research and development. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries seeking to construct novel peptide-like structures or heterocyclic compounds.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A crucial building block for the synthesis of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those with peptide or amide backbones.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in the development of new herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators that require specific amino acid-derived motifs.
• Peptidomimetic Synthesis: Serves as a protected and activated amino acid derivative for constructing peptide analogs and mimetics in medicinal chemistry.
• Fine Chemical Production: Employed in the multi-step synthesis of complex specialty chemicals, dyes, and functional materials.
• Bioconjugation Chemistry: Acts as a linker or spacer molecule in the development of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and other bioconjugates.
• Academic & Institutional R&D: Utilized in university and research institute laboratories for methodological development and exploring new chemical spaces.
