Description

n-Formyl-D-Phenylalanine is a high-purity, optically active amino acid derivative where the amino group of D-Phenylalanine is protected by a formyl group. This compound is a critical chiral building block and intermediate in the synthesis of more complex peptides and pharmaceutical active ingredients. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and fine chemical sectors who require high-fidelity, enantiomerically pure intermediates for drug discovery and development processes.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon in the research and production of peptide-based therapeutics and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Peptide Synthesis: Used as a protected amino acid derivative in solid-phase and solution-phase peptide synthesis to construct specific peptide sequences.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a standard or reagent in enzymatic studies, metabolic pathway research, and as a substrate for proteases and other enzymes.
• Asymmetric Synthesis: Employed as a starting material or auxiliary in asymmetric catalytic reactions to introduce chirality into target molecules.
• Proteomics & Diagnostics: Can be utilized in the development of diagnostic assays and proteomic analysis tools.
