Description

5-Aminovaleric Acid Hydrochloride is a versatile organic salt and a key protected derivative of 5-aminovaleric acid, offering enhanced stability for synthesis and formulation. This compound serves as a critical building block in pharmaceutical research and fine chemical manufacturing, enabling the development of novel active ingredients and complex molecules. It is essential for researchers and production chemists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries who require high-purity intermediates for peptide synthesis and other advanced organic transformations.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for compounds containing a γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) related backbone or other five-carbon amino acid chains.
• Peptide Synthesis: Used as a protected amino acid derivative in solid-phase and solution-phase peptide synthesis to construct specific peptide sequences.
• Biochemical Research: Employed as a substrate or inhibitor in enzymatic studies and metabolic pathway research due to its structural similarity to natural metabolites.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Acts as a building block for developing novel herbicides, pesticides, or plant growth regulators that incorporate an amino acid moiety.
• Polymer Modification: Utilized to introduce amine functionality into polymers or coatings, altering their physical and chemical properties for specialized applications.
• Crosslinking Agent: Can serve as a component in the formulation of crosslinking agents for resins or biomaterials, leveraging its bifunctional (amine and acid) nature.

Quality Control

Our 5-Aminovaleric Acid Hydrochloride is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment and are available upon request 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 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.
