Description
N-Acetylmuramic acid is a key amino sugar derivative with CAS number 10597-89-4 and empirical formula C₁₁H₁₉NO₈. The compound has a molar mass of 293,27 g/mol and a reported boiling point of 696,8 °C, reflecting its polar, polyfunctional structure. Laboratories use N-acetylmuramic acid as a reference standard, synthetic intermediate, or assay component when investigating cell-wall biosynthesis, lysozyme substrates, and related glycopeptide pathways. The defined molecular identity supports analytical calibration and controlled preparation of model substrates. Available from manufacturer Carl ROTH, this biochemical fits academic and industrial workflows that require small, well-specified quantities rather than bulk commodity material. is practical for method set-up, comparative experiments, and stock preparation in glycobiology, microbiology, and medicinal chemistry groups. Clear CAS and formula data facilitate documentation in electronic lab notebooks and purchasing systems focused on carbohydrate and amino-sugar reagents.
