Description

Dl-Norleucine Hydroxamate CAS NO 69749-17-3 is a hydroxamic acid derivative of the non-proteinogenic amino acid norleucine, serving as a versatile chemical building block and a potent chelating agent. Its primary value lies in its ability to strongly bind metal ions, particularly iron, making it a critical intermediate in the development of pharmaceuticals, research biochemicals, and specialized industrial chelators. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and metallurgy sectors who require high-purity intermediates for synthesis or effective metal sequestration agents.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the research and synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those targeting metalloenzymes or requiring metal-chelating properties.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a standard, inhibitor, or substrate in enzymatic studies and metabolic pathway research due to its structural similarity to natural amino acids.
• Agrochemical Development: Employed as a key intermediate in the synthesis of advanced herbicides, pesticides, or plant growth regulators that utilize chelation mechanisms.
• Metal Chelation & Sequestration: Acts as an effective chelating agent in industrial processes for water treatment, metal purification, or as a component in specialty cleaning formulations.
• Cosmetic Ingredient Synthesis: Utilized in the production of specialized active ingredients for skincare products, where its metal-binding properties can enhance stability or efficacy.

Quality Control

Our Dl-Norleucine Hydroxamate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets high-grade specifications suitable for research and industrial synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your project requirements.

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 each use to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or storing under an inert atmosphere to minimize oxidation.
