Description

n-(4-Aminobenzoyl)-β-Alanine is a high-purity organic compound featuring both an aromatic amine and a carboxylic acid functional group, making it a versatile building block for chemical synthesis. Its bifunctional nature is critical for creating complex molecules with tailored properties in advanced manufacturing. This intermediate is essential for researchers and industrial chemists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical sectors seeking to develop new active ingredients or functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for compounds requiring a conjugated aromatic-amide linkage.
• Peptide Mimetic Research: Used in medicinal chemistry to create β-alanine-derived peptide analogs and enzyme inhibitors.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Employed as a building block for developing novel herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Dye and Pigment Manufacturing: Functions as an intermediate in the production of azo dyes and other colorants due to its aromatic amine group.
• Polymer Modification: Utilized to introduce amine and carboxyl functionalities into polymer chains for enhanced adhesion or cross-linking.
• Bioconjugation Linker: Acts as a spacer or linker molecule in the development of diagnostic reagents and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs).

Quality Control

Our n-(4-Aminobenzoyl)-β-Alanine is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters 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 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.
