Product Description
L(+)-2-Aminobutyric acid, CAS 1492-24-6, is a high-purity, non-proteinogenic amino acid that serves as a crucial chiral building block in advanced chemical synthesis. Due to its specific stereochemistry, it is a highly valued intermediate in the pharmaceutical industry for the production of several Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs). Its primary role is as a key precursor in the synthesis of important drugs, including the anti-epileptic medication Levetiracetam and the anti-tuberculosis agent Ethambutol.
