Description

L-Asparagine,n-(Hydroxymethyl)-(9Ci) is a chemically modified derivative of the amino acid L-asparagine, featuring a hydroxymethyl functional group. This modification enhances its utility as a versatile building block and intermediate in advanced organic synthesis and biochemical research. It is particularly valuable for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and fine chemical sectors who require specialized amino acid derivatives for developing novel compounds, peptide mimetics, or biochemical probes.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key chiral synthon in the research and development of new active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially for compounds targeting neurological or metabolic pathways.
• Biochemical Research: Used in the study of enzyme mechanisms, protein interactions, and as a precursor for synthesizing labeled compounds or specialized amino acids for metabolic studies.
• Peptide Synthesis: Acts as a modified amino acid residue for introducing the hydroxymethyl group into synthetic peptides, potentially altering their solubility, stability, or bioactivity.
• Fine Chemical Production: Employed as a building block in the multi-step synthesis of complex organic molecules, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals.
• Cosmetic Ingredient Synthesis: May be utilized in the development of novel moisturizing agents or skin-conditioning compounds derived from amino acids.

Quality Control

Our L-Asparagine,n-(Hydroxymethyl)-(9Ci) is produced under controlled conditions to ensure high purity and consistency. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assays and identity confirmation. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity, related substances, and other critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect stability and handling properties.
