Description

L-2-Aminodecanoic Acid (S-Form) is a high-purity, non-proteinogenic amino acid derivative characterized by its specific S-configuration at the alpha carbon. This compound serves as a crucial chiral building block and intermediate in advanced organic synthesis, enabling the creation of complex molecules with defined stereochemistry. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries developing novel active ingredients, peptides, and chiral catalysts.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key chiral synthon for the research and development of new active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in peptide-based therapeutics and enzyme inhibitors.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Building block for creating novel, enantiomerically pure herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators with enhanced efficacy.
• Peptide Chemistry: Used in solid-phase and solution-phase peptide synthesis to incorporate non-natural amino acid residues, modifying peptide stability, activity, and bioavailability.
• Chiral Catalyst & Ligand Preparation: Serves as a precursor for synthesizing chiral auxiliaries, ligands for asymmetric catalysis, and organocatalysts.
• Biochemical Research: Valuable tool in metabolic studies, enzyme substrate analog development, and as a standard in analytical chromatography for amino acid analysis.
• Specialty Polymer Modification: Can be used to introduce functional amino groups into polymers for creating smart materials, drug delivery systems, or biocompatible surfaces.

Quality Control

Our L-2-Aminodecanoic Acid (S-Form) is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity verification by HPLC, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, enantiomeric excess, and specific impurity profiles is provided with 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, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent product degradation or clumping. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
