Description

11-Aminotridecanoic Acid Methyl Ester is a high-purity, long-chain amino acid ester derivative that serves as a critical building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its bifunctional nature, featuring both a reactive amino group and an ester moiety, makes it a versatile intermediate for creating specialized polymers and fine chemicals. This compound is essential for R&D and production in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty polymer industries, where it is used to introduce specific functional groups and modify material properties.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key starting material for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring long-chain aliphatic amino acid structures.
• Polymer Modification: Used as a monomer or chain extender in the production of polyamides, polyurethanes, and other specialty polymers to enhance flexibility, adhesion, or biocompatibility.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Intermediate in the manufacture of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators that benefit from its lipophilic chain and reactive sites.
• Surfactant & Corrosion Inhibitor Precursor: Serves as a precursor for synthesizing novel cationic or amphoteric surfactants and corrosion inhibitors for industrial applications.
• Bioconjugation & Linker Chemistry: Employed in bioconjugation techniques and as a spacer/linker molecule in diagnostic assays and drug delivery systems.
• Lubricant & Fuel Additive Component: A building block for creating high-performance additives that improve the properties of lubricants and fuels.
• Cosmetic Ingredient Synthesis: Used in the synthesis of conditioning agents, emulsifiers, and other functional ingredients for personal care formulations.
• Research & Development: A valuable tool in organic chemistry research for exploring new synthetic routes and creating novel chemical entities.
