Description

Dl-3,4-Dibromophenylalanine is a halogenated derivative of the amino acid phenylalanine, characterized by the substitution of bromine atoms at the 3 and 4 positions of the aromatic ring. This modification makes it a valuable non-natural amino acid building block for pharmaceutical research and fine chemical synthesis, offering unique steric and electronic properties. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the life sciences sector for developing novel compounds, including potential drug candidates and advanced materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon in the research and development of new active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for neurological and metabolic disorders.
• Peptide Synthesis: Used as a modified amino acid residue in solid-phase and solution-phase peptide synthesis to incorporate bromine functionalities, altering peptide stability and bioactivity.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Serves as a building block for creating labeled compounds and molecular probes to study enzyme mechanisms and protein interactions.
• Agrochemical Research: Employed in the synthesis of novel herbicide and pesticide candidates, leveraging the bioactivity of halogenated aromatic systems.
• Material Science: A precursor for specialty polymers and advanced organic materials where bromine atoms can impart flame retardancy or specific reactivity.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A versatile reagent for methodological development in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry laboratories worldwide.

Quality Control

Our Dl-3,4-Dibromophenylalanine is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting batch-specific results are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

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 degradation from atmospheric moisture.
