Description

D-Aspartic Acid, n-Formyl- (9Ci) is a chemically modified derivative of D-aspartic acid, featuring a formyl group on the nitrogen atom. This specific molecular architecture makes it a valuable chiral building block and protected intermediate for advanced organic synthesis and peptide research. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and industrial R&D departments focused on pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fine chemical development, where precise stereochemistry and functional group manipulation are critical.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key chiral synthon in the research and development of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for neurological and metabolic disorders.
• Peptide Synthesis: Acts as a protected amino acid derivative for the solid-phase and solution-phase synthesis of complex peptides and peptidomimetics, where the formyl group provides orthogonal protection.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a standard or reagent in enzymatic studies, metabolic pathway analysis, and investigations into aspartate-related biological processes.
• Fine Chemical Production: Employed in the synthesis of specialized fine chemicals, flavors, and fragrances that require high enantiomeric purity.
• Agrochemical Development: Functions as a building block for creating chiral herbicides, pesticides, and plant growth regulators with enhanced specificity.

Quality Control

Our D-Aspartic Acid, n-Formyl- (9Ci) is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis for enantiomeric excess, and spectroscopic identification, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are provided for every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container should be kept in a desiccated environment to prevent absorption of moisture. For long-term storage, consider using inert gas purging.
