Description

3-(4-Butoxyphenyl)-β-Alanine is a specialized organic compound featuring a β-alanine backbone linked to a 4-butoxyphenyl group. This structure makes it a valuable intermediate in the synthesis of more complex molecules, particularly in the pharmaceutical and advanced materials sectors. It is primarily sought after by research and development chemists, process development scientists, and manufacturers in fine chemical and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) production.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key building block in the research and synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those targeting specific receptor sites.
• Liquid Crystal Material Synthesis: Used in the development of advanced organic materials for display technologies due to its aromatic and flexible alkoxy chain structure.
• Agrochemical Research: Serves as a precursor in the development of new generation herbicides or plant growth regulators.
• Peptidomimetic Chemistry: The β-alanine moiety allows its incorporation into peptide analogs to modify stability and biological activity.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Employed in academic and industrial laboratories for coupling reactions and as a scaffold for creating compound libraries.
• Dye and Pigment Intermediate: Potential use in the synthesis of specialized dyes owing to its conjugated aromatic system.

Quality Control

Every batch of 3-(4-Butoxyphenyl)-β-Alanine is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
