Description

L-Vinylglycine is a non-proteinogenic amino acid derivative featuring a reactive vinyl side chain. This unique structure makes it a valuable chiral building block and intermediate in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for developing novel compounds and active ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon for the synthesis of enzyme inhibitors, antiviral agents, and other bioactive molecules.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a substrate or inhibitor in enzymatic studies, particularly for transaminases and enzymes involved in amino acid metabolism.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a precursor in the development of novel herbicides and plant growth regulators with specific modes of action.
• Peptide Modification: The vinyl group allows for incorporation into peptides for subsequent cross-linking or functionalization via click chemistry or other coupling reactions.
• Asymmetric Synthesis: Employed as a starting material for the preparation of other non-natural amino acids and complex chiral compounds.

Quality Control

Our L-Vinylglycine is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting results for assay, chiral purity, and specific impurities is provided and 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 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.
