Description

13-Aza-16-[(2-Cyanoethyl)Amino]Hexadecanoic Acid Lactam is a specialized heterocyclic organic compound featuring a lactam ring integrated with a cyanoethylamino side chain. This unique molecular architecture makes it a valuable intermediate for synthesizing complex molecules, particularly in the pharmaceutical and advanced materials sectors. It is primarily sought after by research chemists and process development teams working on novel drug candidates, high-performance polymers, and specialty surfactants.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key building block for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those with complex polycyclic or macrocyclic structures.
• Polymer Chemistry: Used as a monomer or chain extender in the production of specialty polyamides and nylons, imparting specific thermal or solubility properties.
• Surfactant & Detergent Formulation: Serves as a precursor for synthesizing novel surfactants with tailored hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) for industrial and personal care applications.
• Ligand Synthesis: Employed in the development of chelating agents and ligands for catalysis or metal ion extraction processes.
• Bioconjugation & Linker Chemistry: Its functional groups make it suitable for creating chemical linkers in bioconjugation for antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) or diagnostic probes.
• Agrochemical Research: Acts as an intermediate in the research and development of new crop protection agents and plant growth regulators.

Quality Control

Our 13-Aza-16-[(2-Cyanoethyl)Amino]Hexadecanoic Acid Lactam is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay (HPLC), identity (IR, NMR), and impurity profile is 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 a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect product stability and performance.
