Description

n-Ethylglycine is a versatile N-alkylated derivative of the amino acid glycine, serving as a crucial building block in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research. Its unique structure, featuring an ethyl group on the nitrogen atom, makes it a valuable intermediate for creating more complex molecules with tailored properties. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries, where it is used to develop active ingredients and fine chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key starting material or building block in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, peptides, and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and production of herbicides, pesticides, and plant growth regulators.
• Biochemical Research: Employed in enzymatic studies, metabolic pathway analysis, and as a component in non-proteinogenic amino acid research.
• Peptidomimetics Development: Integral for designing and synthesizing peptide analogs and mimetics to enhance stability and bioavailability.
• Chelating Agent Precursor: Serves as a precursor for ligands and chelating agents used in metal ion sequestration and catalysis.
• Specialty Chemical Manufacturing: A versatile intermediate for producing surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, and other performance chemicals.

Quality Control

Our n-Ethylglycine is manufactured under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive analytical data, including identity confirmation by IR spectroscopy and purity determination by titration or HPLC. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is supplied with each shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay, loss on drying, and residual solvents. Our quality commitment ensures the material meets the rigorous standards required for research and commercial synthesis.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and stability.
