Description

Ethanesulfonic Acid, 2-Amino-, Ammonium Salt is a high-purity organic ammonium salt derivative of taurine, valued for its stability and solubility in aqueous systems. This compound serves as a versatile intermediate and functional additive, particularly where the introduction of a stable sulfonate group is required. It is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biochemical research, and specialty chemical synthesis sectors seeking reliable, high-quality building blocks.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for compounds requiring a bioisosteric sulfonate moiety.
• Biochemical Research: Acts as a precursor or standard in metabolic pathway studies and enzyme research related to taurine analogues.
• Surfactant & Detergent Formulation: Serves as a starting material for the production of specialized amphoteric or anionic surfactants.
• Electroplating Additive: Utilized in specialty electroplating baths to improve surface finish and deposition quality.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Provides a protected or salt form of 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid for various coupling and modification reactions.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Ingredients: Potential use as a mild buffering agent or stabilizer in advanced skincare formulations.
