Pimelic acid, 98%

Description

CAS: 111-16-0 | C7H12O4 | 160.17 g/mol

Pimelic acid derivatives are involved in the biosynthesis of the amino acid called lysine. It is applied as a precursor to many polyesters and polyamides. It is the final member of the mnemonic used to aid recollection of the order of the first six dicarboxylic acids.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
