Description

Glycine, n-Cyclopentyl- is a specialized amino acid derivative featuring a cyclopentyl substituent on the nitrogen atom. This structural modification imparts unique steric and lipophilic properties, making it a valuable intermediate for advanced chemical synthesis. It is primarily sought after by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors for applications in drug discovery, peptide mimetics, and the development of novel active ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical intermediate for the synthesis of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Building block in medicinal chemistry for creating peptide analogs and enzyme inhibitors.
• Precursor for advanced agrochemicals, including herbicides and plant growth regulators.
• Research chemical for studying structure-activity relationships (SAR) in biological systems.
• Intermediate in the production of specialty surfactants and corrosion inhibitors.
• Chiral auxiliary or ligand in asymmetric synthesis and catalysis.

Quality Control

Our Glycine, n-Cyclopentyl- is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area 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.
