Description

n-(2-Aminoethyl)-3-Oxobutyramide is a versatile bifunctional organic compound featuring both an amide and a primary amine group. This unique structure makes it a valuable intermediate for the synthesis of more complex molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical and fine chemical manufacturing. It is primarily sought after by research and development chemists, process engineers, and procurement specialists in the life sciences and specialty chemical sectors.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring a β-keto amide or ethylenediamine moiety.
• Peptide Mimetic Synthesis: Used in the development of peptide analogs and mimetics for drug discovery and biochemical research.
• Crosslinking Agent: Serves as a precursor for polymers and resins, acting as a crosslinker due to its reactive amine and carbonyl functionalities.
• Ligand and Chelator Synthesis: Employed in the preparation of specialized ligands for metal catalysis or chelation therapy applications.
• Bioconjugation Chemistry: Useful in creating linkers for attaching molecules to proteins, antibodies, or other biomolecules.
• Fine Chemical Production: Intermediate in the manufacture of dyes, pigments, and other high-value specialty chemicals.

Quality Control

Our n-(2-Aminoethyl)-3-Oxobutyramide is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC, NMR, and FTIR to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are available upon request. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support our clients in regulated industries.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
