Description

L-Alanine,n-Nitro-,Ethylester(9Ci) is a specialized, high-purity organic compound belonging to the class of nitro-substituted amino acid esters. This chemical serves as a critical building block (synthon) and intermediate in advanced organic synthesis, enabling the introduction of both amino and nitro functional groups into target molecules. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and industrial R&D departments focused on pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and material science.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring modified amino acid backbones.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in developing new herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators that incorporate nitro-amino acid motifs.
• Peptide Chemistry: Serves as a protected or modified amino acid derivative for the construction of non-natural peptides and peptidomimetics.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Employed in the design and synthesis of molecular probes and labeled compounds for biochemical studies.
• Material Science: Potential monomer or cross-linking agent for specialized polymers and functional materials.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: Fundamental research reagent for methodological development in organic synthesis and catalysis.
