Description

n-(Trifluoroacetyl)-β-Alanine 1-Methylpentyl Ester CAS NO 57983-13-8 is a specialized fluorinated alanine derivative ester, serving as a key chiral intermediate and building block in advanced organic synthesis. This compound is valued for its trifluoroacetyl protecting group and unique ester functionality, which are critical for modifying peptide backbones and introducing fluorine atoms into target molecules. It is primarily required by pharmaceutical R&D laboratories and fine chemical manufacturers engaged in the development of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), peptide mimetics, and agrochemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A crucial building block for the synthesis of fluorinated peptides, protease inhibitors, and other bioactive molecules.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in developing novel herbicides and pesticides where the fluorine moiety enhances biological activity and stability.
• Peptide Chemistry: Serves as a protected β-alanine derivative for solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) and the creation of modified peptide structures.
• Material Science: Potential monomer or modifier in the synthesis of specialty polymers with unique surface properties.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Utilized in the design and synthesis of fluorinated probes for studying enzyme mechanisms and binding interactions.
• Chiral Synthesis: Acts as a starting material or intermediate for the preparation of enantiomerically pure compounds due to the chiral center on the 1-methylpentyl group.

Quality Control

Our n-(Trifluoroacetyl)-β-Alanine 1-Methylpentyl Ester is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and chiral purity assessment, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled 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.
