Product Information

• Name: Methyl 5-Hexynoate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Methyl 5-hexynoate is a synthetic product that can be synthesized from soybean lipoxygenase and hydrogenation reduction. This product has been shown to be a useful synthon for the synthesis of monoclonal antibodies with high binding affinity. The synthetic pathway, which involves cross-coupling and asymmetric synthesis, is outlined in the diagram below. The following are the steps involved in the production of methyl 5-hexynoate: 1) Addition of ethyl bromide to terminal alkynes 2) Addition of hydrochloric acid 3) Reaction with potassium tert-butoxide 4) Hydrogenation reduction 5) Cross-coupling reaction 6) Asymmetric synthesis
