Product Information

• Name: 4-(Hydroxymethyl)benzamide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-(Hydroxymethyl)benzamide is a heterocyclic compound that is activated with sodium borohydride. It can be used in the synthesis of peptides, which are chains of amino acids. 4-(Hydroxymethyl)benzamide has been shown to have a high efficiency for the synthesis of peptides and has been shown to be an excellent reactant for manual peptide synthesis. Kinetics studies have also shown that this reagent is more effective than other deprotecting agents such as hydrochloric acid. This compound has been found to be useful in the analysis of amino acids and can be used in the ligation reaction during peptide synthesis. The deprotection reactions catalyzed by 4-(Hydroxymethyl)benzamide are typically carried out at room temperature, although solvents such as dichloromethane or chloroform can be used instead if necessary.
