Description

3-(6-Aminopyridin-3-Yl)Propanoic Acid is a high-purity organic building block featuring both a carboxylic acid and an aminopyridine functional group. This bifunctional nature makes it a versatile intermediate for constructing complex molecular architectures in advanced chemical synthesis. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical R&D and fine chemical manufacturers for the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and specialty compounds.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key building block in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those targeting neurological and oncological pathways.
• Ligand Synthesis: Used to prepare chelating ligands for catalysis and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
• Peptidomimetics & Bio-conjugation: The carboxylic acid group enables coupling to create peptide analogs or for bioconjugation applications.
• Agrochemical Research: Serves as a precursor in developing new active ingredients for crop protection products.
• Material Science: Employed in the research and production of advanced polymers and functional materials.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Useful for synthesizing molecular probes to study biological processes and enzyme functions.

Quality Control

Our 3-(6-Aminopyridin-3-Yl)Propanoic Acid is produced under stringent quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry, to ensure high chemical purity and identity confirmation. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment 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 area 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.
