Description

D-(+)-2-Methylputrescine is a chiral, non-proteinogenic diamine derivative of putrescine, serving as a key chiral building block and intermediate in organic synthesis. This compound matters for its role in the stereoselective synthesis of complex molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical research and fine chemical production. Industries that need it include pharmaceutical R&D for developing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), agrochemical manufacturers for creating novel crop protection agents, and academic institutions conducting research in alkaloid synthesis and biochemical studies.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A critical chiral synthon for the synthesis of pharmaceutical candidates, especially those targeting neurological and cardiovascular pathways.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in the development of novel herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators that require specific stereochemistry for efficacy.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a precursor or analog in studies of polyamine metabolism, enzyme inhibition, and cellular signaling processes.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Employed as a building block for creating complex natural products, specialty chemicals, and chiral ligands for catalysis.
• Academic & R&D Laboratories: Utilized in methodological development for asymmetric synthesis and as a standard in analytical chemistry.

Quality Control

Our D-(+)-2-Methylputrescine is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity assessment by HPLC, identity confirmation by IR and NMR, and quantification of key impurities. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation needs.

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 each use to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or storing under an inert atmosphere.
