Description

4-Imidazol-1-Yl-Butyric Acid Hydrochloride is a high-purity organic salt derivative of imidazole, serving as a critical building block in advanced pharmaceutical synthesis. Its value lies in providing a functionalized imidazole scaffold essential for creating molecules with targeted biological activity. This compound is primarily needed by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for developing new active ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those targeting enzymes or receptors where the imidazole moiety is pharmacologically active.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in developing new fungicides, herbicides, or plant growth regulators that incorporate heterocyclic structures for enhanced efficacy.
• Bioconjugation & Probe Synthesis: The carboxylic acid group allows for coupling reactions, making it useful for creating chemical probes, labeled compounds, or bioconjugates for diagnostic and research applications.
• Ligand & Catalyst Development: Serves as a starting material for synthesizing specialized ligands used in coordination chemistry and catalysis.
• Chemical Biology Tool: Employed in medicinal chemistry programs to explore structure-activity relationships (SAR) around the imidazole core.

Quality Control

Our 4-Imidazol-1-Yl-Butyric Acid Hydrochloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications and results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

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