Description

2-Aminophenylacetic Acid is a versatile aromatic amino acid derivative that serves as a critical building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its bifunctional structure, featuring both an amine and a carboxylic acid group, makes it a valuable intermediate for constructing complex molecules. This compound is essential for research and production in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries, where it is used to develop active ingredients and novel compounds.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), analgesics, and other active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Building block for creating herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Peptide Mimetics & Drug Discovery: Used in medicinal chemistry to develop peptide analogs and novel drug candidates targeting various diseases.
• Fine Chemical Production: Intermediate for dyes, pigments, and specialty chemicals requiring a substituted phenylacetic acid framework.
• Bioconjugation & Linker Chemistry: Utilized in biopharmaceuticals for attaching payloads or creating cleavable linkers due to its reactive functional groups.
• Research & Development: Serves as a standard and starting material in academic and industrial R&D for organic and medicinal chemistry projects.

Quality Control

Our 2-Aminophenylacetic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, IR for identification, and loss on drying for moisture content, to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical and fine chemical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with every shipment and are available upon request.

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.
