Description

11-Aminolauric Acid Methyl Ester is a bifunctional organic compound featuring both an amine and an ester group on a long aliphatic chain. This unique structure makes it a versatile and valuable building block for the synthesis of specialty chemicals and advanced materials. It is primarily sought after by R&D chemists and production engineers in the pharmaceutical, polymer, and surfactant industries for creating novel compounds with tailored properties.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for drugs targeting metabolic and neurological pathways.
• Polymer Modification: Used to introduce amine functionality into polymers, enhancing properties like adhesion, dyeability, and biocompatibility for specialty coatings and fibers.
• Surfactant & Corrosion Inhibitor Synthesis: Serves as a foundational molecule for manufacturing cationic surfactants, emulsifiers, and high-performance corrosion inhibitors for industrial fluids.
• Linker in Bioconjugation: Employed in biochemical research and diagnostic reagent development as a spacer or linker molecule for attaching proteins, peptides, or other biomolecules.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Utilized in research laboratories for constructing complex organic molecules, including macrocycles and dendrimers, due to its reactive end groups.
• Lubricant Additive Precursor: A starting material for synthesizing additives that improve the extreme pressure and anti-wear properties of advanced lubricants.

Quality Control

Every batch of our 11-Aminolauric Acid Methyl Ester is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency through comprehensive analytical protocols including HPLC, GC, and NMR. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, 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 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.
