Aminocaproic Acid Trimer - Introduction

6-(6-(6-Aminohexanamido)hexanamido)hexanoic acid, abbreviated as AHHA, is an organic compound. Its chemical formula is C18H35N3O4 and its molecular weight is 353.49g/mol.

AHHA is a solid, white crystalline powder at room temperature. It is soluble in water, but poorly soluble in organic solvents. AHHA has a certain degree of hydrophilicity and acidity.

One of the main uses of AHHA is as a cross-linking agent in biological research, which can be used for the cross-linking reaction of proteins or polypeptides. It is able to establish cross-links between multiple molecules by means of amide bond formation, thereby fixing their structure and enhancing their stability.

A common method for the preparation of AHHA is the amidation reaction of 6-aminocaproamide with hexaiminocaproic acid. In the reaction, the amino group in 6-aminocaproamide reacts with the carboxyl group in hexaiminocaproic acid to form an amide bond, thus forming AHHA.

Regarding safety information, AHHA is a chemical substance that needs to be handled and stored properly. Wear appropriate protective equipment to avoid contact with skin, eyes and respiratory tract. The operation should be carried out in a well-ventilated place, avoiding inhalation or ingestion. If you come into contact with AHHA, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical help. When properly used and handled, AHHA generally does not cause serious harm to humans and the environment. However, its safety should be fully evaluated before use.
