Description

6-Aminoundecanoic Acid is a versatile long-chain amino acid derivative, serving as a critical building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its bifunctional nature, featuring both a carboxylic acid and a primary amine group, makes it an essential monomer for producing high-performance polyamides and specialty polymers. This compound is particularly valuable for R&D and manufacturing in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and material science sectors, where it is used to create novel compounds with tailored properties.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key starting material for synthesizing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and novel drug candidates, particularly those requiring long aliphatic chains.
• Specialty Polyamide Monomer: Used in the production of Nylon-11 type polymers and other high-performance, long-chain polyamides known for their flexibility, chemical resistance, and durability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a precursor for creating surfactants, emulsifiers, and specialized agrochemical agents.
• Bioconjugation & Linker Chemistry: Utilized in bioconjugation techniques and as a spacer/linker molecule in peptide mimetics and diagnostic reagents due to its amine and carboxyl functionalities.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Formulation: Acts as a component in formulations for metal surface treatments and corrosion inhibition.
• Research & Development: A valuable tool in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new chemical entities, polymer science, and material properties.

Quality Control

Our 6-Aminoundecanoic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, purity assay, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets precise specifications for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your project requirements.

Storage

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