Description

3-(4-Aminomethyl-Phenyl)-Propionic Acid is a versatile aromatic amino acid derivative featuring both a carboxylic acid and a primary benzylamine functional group. This bifunctional nature makes it a valuable pharmaceutical intermediate and organic building block for synthesizing more complex molecules. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for the development of active ingredients and advanced materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of drug candidates, particularly in the development of enzyme inhibitors, receptor modulators, and peptide mimetics.
• Peptide Synthesis: Used as a protected or unprotected amino acid derivative in solid-phase and solution-phase peptide chemistry to introduce specific aromatic and acidic properties.
• Agrochemical Research: Serves as a precursor in the design and synthesis of novel herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Polymer Modification: Acts as a monomer or cross-linking agent for creating functional polymers with amine and carboxylate groups for specialized coatings or resins.
• Bioconjugation & Linker Chemistry: Employed in the preparation of chemical linkers for antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) or for attaching molecules to surfaces in diagnostic assays.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: A versatile starting material for amide bond formation, reductive amination, and other transformations to create diverse chemical libraries.

Quality Control

Our 3-(4-Aminomethyl-Phenyl)-Propionic Acid is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and production use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters 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 room temperature (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.
