4-Pentynoic acid, 95%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

4-Pentynoic acid is widely utilized as a building block for the synthesis of eight sequence-defined model oligomers. Due to its triple bond at terminal carbon, it is employed as an intermediate to produce biologically active compounds. It is used as a hypoglycemic agent, which increases liver tyrosine aminotransferase and plasma corticosterone while decreasing blood sugar in rats.

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.
