Description

2-Amino-4-(2-Aminoethoxy)Butanoic Acid is a specialized amino acid derivative featuring both a primary amino group and an ether-linked aminoethoxy side chain. This unique bifunctional structure makes it a valuable versatile building block for the synthesis of complex molecules and functional materials. It is primarily sought by pharmaceutical researchers and fine chemical manufacturers for applications in drug discovery, peptide mimetics, and as a precursor for chelating agents.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key synthon in the research and development of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for compounds targeting neurological or metabolic pathways.
• Peptide Modification: Used to introduce unique side chains into synthetic peptides, altering their solubility, stability, or receptor binding properties for biochemical research.
• Ligand Synthesis: Acts as a precursor for the preparation of chelating agents and ligands used in catalysis, metal ion sequestration, and diagnostic imaging.
• Bioconjugation Chemistry: Employed in the functionalization of biomolecules, polymers, and surfaces due to its reactive amino groups, enabling the creation of advanced biomaterials.
• Fine Chemical Production: Utilized in the multi-step synthesis of complex organic compounds for agrochemicals, dyes, and specialty chemicals.

Quality Control

We maintain a rigorous quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Our products undergo comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and elemental analysis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment. We can supply material compliant with various pharmacopeial standards based on customer requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at 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.
