Description

Alanine, n-Carboxy-2-Methyl- (7Ci) CAS NO 89417-48-1 is a specialized, non-proteinogenic amino acid derivative with a unique carboxylated side chain. This structural feature makes it a valuable chiral building block and intermediate for synthesizing more complex bioactive molecules. It is primarily sought by research and development teams in the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries for applications in medicinal chemistry, peptide synthesis, and as a precursor for novel compounds.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key chiral synthon in the research and development of new active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for modifying peptide structures.
• Peptide Chemistry: Used in the synthesis of modified peptides and peptidomimetics to alter stability, bioavailability, or receptor binding properties.
• Biochemical Research: Employed as a substrate or inhibitor in enzymatic studies to investigate metabolic pathways involving amino acid analogs.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a versatile building block for creating custom chelating agents, ligands for catalysis, or specialty surfactants.
• Agrochemical Development: Explored as a component in the synthesis of novel, biodegradable herbicides or plant growth regulators.

Quality Control

Our Alanine, n-Carboxy-2-Methyl- (7Ci) is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, purity assay, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results are provided and available upon request.

Storage

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