Description
(R)-3-(2-Amino-2-oxoethyl)-5-methylhexanoic acid is a chiral branched carboxylic acid derivative with CAS number 181289-33-8 and empirical formula C₉H₁₇NO₃. Its molar mass of 187,24 g/mol allows precise weighing for stoichiometric applications in synthesis and analytical calibration. size supports repeated use in process development, intermediate preparation, and structure–activity work that relies on the (R)-configured 5-methylhexanoic backbone bearing a primary amide side chain. The bifunctional profile—carboxylic acid together with a primary amide—makes the molecule useful for peptide-related chemistry, amide couplings, and further derivatisation under controlled laboratory conditions. Research teams in organic and medicinal chemistry can incorporate this building block where stereochemical integrity and defined molecular composition are essential. Supplied by manufacturer Carl ROTH, the material is positioned for biochemical and fine-chemical workflows that require a practical multi-gram quantity without claims beyond the stated identity, formula, and pack data.

What is this article?
(R)-3-(2-Amino-2-oxoethyl)-5-methylhexan, oic acid, 25 g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Organic building blocks & synthesis reagents, inside Organic chemicals & synthesis reagents, in Lab chemicals.
A building block is an organic molecule bought to become part of a larger one. The structure, the CAS number and the purity decide it. A 95 percent reagent and a 99.9 percent reagent of the same name leave different impurities in the product. The functional groups are the reason it was chosen.
An organic chemical is built on carbon. In this category it is a building block or a reagent for making another molecule: a starting material, a coupling agent, a polymer, a PEG. Purity is a specification of which impurities remain. The structure, the CAS number and the grade decide whether two bottles are the same substance. Structures and properties are on PubChem. Nomenclature is IUPAC. Classification follows ECHA and the CLP Regulation.
