Description

4-(Aminoethyl)Salicylic Acid is a versatile bifunctional organic compound that combines the structural motifs of salicylic acid and ethylenediamine. This unique molecular architecture makes it a valuable intermediate for synthesizing complex molecules, particularly in the pharmaceutical and fine chemical sectors. It is primarily sought after by research institutions and manufacturers developing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), advanced chelating agents, and specialty polymers.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly in anti-inflammatory and analgesic research.
• Ligand Synthesis: Used to prepare chelating agents and complexing ligands for metal catalysis and extraction processes.
• Polymer Modification: Serves as a functional monomer or cross-linking agent for producing specialty polymers with enhanced properties.
• Bioconjugation: Utilized in biochemical research for labeling and modifying proteins or other biomolecules via its amine and carboxylic acid groups.
• Analytical Reagent: Employed in the development of chromatographic standards and analytical methods.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Intermediate in the multi-step synthesis of dyes, agrochemicals, and other high-value organic compounds.

Quality Control

Our 4-(Aminoethyl)Salicylic Acid is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are available upon request.

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. Keep away from strong acids and organic solvents.
