Description

o-Benzyl-Dl-Serine is a protected amino acid derivative of serine, where the hydroxyl group is masked by a benzyl ether. This chemical intermediate is crucial for synthetic organic and peptide chemistry, providing a versatile building block for the controlled synthesis of complex molecules. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries for developing active ingredients and novel compounds.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block in the synthesis of peptide-based drugs, antibiotics, and other bioactive molecules.
• Peptide Synthesis: Used in solid-phase and solution-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) to incorporate serine residues with a protected side chain.
• Chemical Research: Serves as a versatile chiral synthon in academic and industrial research for exploring new synthetic methodologies.
• Agrochemical Development: Intermediate in the creation of novel herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Fine Chemical Production: Employed in the manufacture of specialty chemicals, catalysts, and ligands for asymmetric synthesis.
• Bioconjugation & Labeling: The protected functional group allows for selective deprotection and conjugation in bioconjugation chemistry.

Quality Control

Our o-Benzyl-Dl-Serine is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay, chiral purity, and impurity profiles.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and stability.
