Product Information

• Name: (S)-2-Bromopropionic acid
• Synonyms: (2S)-2-Bromopropanoic acid(S)-a-Bromopropionic acid(-)-a-Bromopropanoic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: (S)-2-Bromopropionic acid is a synthetic compound that has been shown to bind to an antigen. The structure activity relationship of this compound has been studied in order to find a suitable surrogate for the synthesis of (S)-2-Bromopropionic acid. This compound was synthesized using solid-phase chemistry and the resulting product was purified by HPLC. The synthetic route for (S)-2-Bromopropionic acid included d-alanine, which was used as the biomolecular building block. The alkylation reaction involved the use of chloroacetic acid and methyl iodide, which were reacted with d-alanine in aqueous solution at room temperature. After hydrolysis, ester linkages were introduced with methanol and acetic anhydride. The final product was purified by recrystallization from methanol and acetone.
