Description

L-Alanine, n-(Methoxycarbonyl)- (9Ci) is a chemically modified derivative of the essential amino acid L-alanine, featuring a methoxycarbonyl protecting group. This functionalization makes it a valuable chiral building block and intermediate in sophisticated organic synthesis, particularly for the production of pharmaceuticals and bioactive compounds. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries who require high-purity, structurally defined intermediates for peptide synthesis and drug development.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially for peptide-based drugs and enzyme inhibitors.
• Peptide Synthesis: Used as a protected amino acid derivative in solid-phase and solution-phase peptide synthesis to construct specific peptide sequences.
• Agrochemical Research: Serves as a building block for developing novel herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators with targeted activity.
• Biochemical Research: Employed in proteomics and metabolic studies as a modified amino acid probe or standard.
• Fine Chemical Production: An intermediate for manufacturing specialty chemicals, flavors, and fragrances requiring specific stereochemistry.
• Material Science: Potential monomer or modifier in the synthesis of specialized polymers and biomaterials.

Quality Control

Our L-Alanine, n-(Methoxycarbonyl)- (9Ci) is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity verification and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and specific test results are provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling properties.
