Description

Methyl Glycinate CAS NO 616-34-2 is a versatile amino acid ester derivative, primarily serving as a key building block in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Its value lies in its bifunctional nature, featuring both an ester and an amino group, which makes it a crucial intermediate for constructing more complex molecules. This compound is essential for industries focused on producing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), fine chemicals, and advanced research materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A critical precursor in the synthesis of various APIs, including peptide-based drugs and other therapeutic agents.
• Peptide Synthesis: Used as a protected glycine derivative in solid-phase and solution-phase peptide synthesis.
• Fine Chemical Production: Serves as a building block for creating complex organic compounds, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals.
• Bioconjugation & Linker Chemistry: Utilized in the development of bioconjugates, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), and molecular probes due to its reactive functional groups.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Ingredients: Acts as an intermediate in the production of certain conditioning agents and mild surfactants.
• Research & Development: Employed in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new synthetic pathways and novel compound libraries.

Quality Control

Our Methyl Glycinate is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We offer various grades, including technical and high-purity pharmaceutical grades, tailored to meet specific application requirements. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
