4-Methylvaleric acid has been used in asymmetric synthesis of (4S)-4-isopropyl-3-[(2?S)-2?,4?-dimethyl-valeryl)]-2-oxazolidinone. It is a versatile building block used in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical and biologically active compounds, including inhibitors and antagonists. It is involved in the synthesis of novel series of high affinity, functionally potent antagonists of the CCR1 receptor.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
Applications
4-Methylvaleric acid has been used in asymmetric synthesis of (4S)-4-isopropyl-3-[(2′S)-2′,4′-dimethyl-valeryl)]-2-oxazolidinone. It is a versatile building block used in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical and biologically active compounds, including inhibitors and antagonists. It is involved in the synthesis of novel series of high affinity, functionally potent antagonists of the CCR1 receptor.
Solubility
Soluble in alcohol. Slightly soluble in water.
Notes
Store in cool, dry conditions in a well sealed container. Store away from oxidizing agents, bases.
