O-Methylthreonine(CAS: 4144-02-9)

O-Methylthreonine is a naturally occurring amino acid with the chemical formula C5H11NO3. It is derived from threonine by the methylation of the hydroxyl group. It is used in pharmaceuticals and as a research tool in biochemistry.

O-Methylthreonine is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry as an intermediate in the synthesis of other compounds. It is also utilized in research as a substrate for enzymatic reactions and in studies related to amino acid metabolism.

O-Methylthreonine is generally considered safe for laboratory use and industrial applications when handled with standard precautions. However, it is important to follow specific safety guidelines, including the use of gloves and goggles, and to store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

O-Methylthreonine should be stored in a cool, dry place at room temperature (15-25°C) and protected from direct sunlight. It should be kept in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture absorption. Avoid storing it near incompatible substances to ensure safety.
