(S)-(+)-2-AMINOBUTYRAMIDE HYDROCHLORIDE (CAS: 7682-20-4) is a high-purity chiral pharmaceutical intermediate. Its core applications focus on three major fields: antiepileptic drug synthesis, impurity reference standard preparation and chiral chemistry research and development.
I. Core Pharmaceutical Applications
Key Starting Material for Levetiracetam
As the core chiral intermediate for the synthesis of levetiracetam, a first-line antiepileptic drug, its S configuration directly determines the chiral purity and efficacy of the final drug, serving as an indispensable key raw material for the industrial production of levetiracetam.
Levetiracetam Impurity Reference Standard / Certified Reference Material
This compound is defined as Related Compound B in USP and Impurity G in EP for levetiracetam. It is applied to the quality control, impurity identification and content determination of levetiracetam active pharmaceutical ingredients and preparations, ensuring the compliance and safety of pharmaceuticals.
II. Chiral Chemistry & R&D Applications
Synthetic Building Block for Chiral Amino Compounds
With a stable S configuration and dual functional groups of amino and amide groups, it acts as a chiral synthon to construct various chiral heterocycles, polypeptides and amino acid derivatives, supporting the research and development of new drugs in nervous system, cardiovascular and other therapeutic fields.
Biochemical and Reagent Application
It is used as a chiral biochemical reagent, substrate for enzyme-catalyzed reactions and chiral resolving agent, compatible with aqueous and organic phase reaction systems in pharmaceutical R&D, and facilitating the development and optimization of chiral drug production processes.
