Description

L-Alanine, n-(1-Cyanopropyl)-, (S)- (9Ci) is a specialized, non-proteinogenic amino acid derivative featuring a chiral center and a cyano functional group. This unique molecular structure makes it a valuable chiral building block and intermediate for the synthesis of more complex bioactive molecules. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and pharmaceutical companies engaged in the development of novel therapeutics, agrochemicals, and advanced materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key chiral synthon in the research and development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for drugs targeting neurological or metabolic pathways.
• Peptide Synthesis: Used in solid-phase and solution-phase peptide synthesis to incorporate non-natural amino acid residues, modifying peptide stability, activity, or bioavailability.
• Agrochemical Research: Acts as a precursor in the design and synthesis of novel herbicides, fungicides, or plant growth regulators with specific chiral activity.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Employed in the creation of labeled compounds or molecular probes for studying enzyme mechanisms or protein interactions.
• Material Science: Potential use as a monomer or building block for synthesizing specialized polymers with unique optical or mechanical properties.
