7-Ethyl 1-Methyl 2-[(2S)-2-[[(1,1-dimethylethoxy)carbonyl]amino]-1-oxopropyl]-heptanedioate

Controlled Product

CAS: 218953-26-5

Applications 7-Ethyl 1-Methyl 2-[(2S)-2-[[(1,1-dimethylethoxy)carbonyl]amino]-1-oxopropyl]-heptanedioate is an intermediate in the synthesis of 8-Amino-7-oxopelargonic Acid Hydrochloride (A618750) which is an intermediate in the synthesis of biotin. Pimeloyl-CoA is transformed into AOP in the presence of L-alanine by the enzyme AOP synthase. The catalytic mechanism of AOP synthase has been studied for the elucidation of inhibitors as potential antimicrobial agents.
