Description

13-Tetradecynoic Acid Methyl Ester is a high-purity, long-chain alkyne ester that serves as a critical building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its terminal alkyne functionality makes it a versatile intermediate for constructing complex molecular architectures through reactions like Sonogashira coupling and click chemistry. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and material science industries developing novel active ingredients and functional polymers.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key synthon for the development of new drug candidates, particularly in creating alkyne-tagged molecules for bio-conjugation and probe synthesis.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in the synthesis of novel pesticides and herbicides with tailored biological activity.
• Material Science: Building block for specialty polymers, dendrimers, and liquid crystals, where the alkyne group enables precise cross-linking and functionalization.
• Chemical Biology: Employed in click chemistry applications to label biomolecules (proteins, nucleic acids) for imaging and diagnostic purposes.
• Organic Synthesis: A versatile reagent for constructing carbon-carbon bonds in multi-step synthesis of natural products and complex organic molecules.
• Surface Modification: Used to create self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) or to functionalize nanoparticles and other surfaces.
