Sarcosine
1. Basic Product Information
Product Name: Sarcosine
CAS Number: 107-97-1
Molecular Formula: C3H7NO2
Molecular Weight: 89.09
Synonyms: N-Methylglycine, Methylaminoacetic acid
Product Category: Biochemical reagent, cosmetic raw material, pharmaceutical intermediate, food additive auxiliary
2. Physical and Chemical Properties
Physical Indicators
- Appearance: White crystalline powder
- Odor: Odorless, slight sweet taste
- Solubility: Freely soluble in water, soluble in methanol; slightly soluble in ethanol; insoluble in acetone, ether and hydrocarbon solvents
- Melting Point: 208–212 °C (decomposes)
- Density (20 °C): 1.19 g/cm3
- Hygroscopicity: Moderately hygroscopic under high humidity environment
- Aqueous Stability: Stable in neutral, weak acid and weak alkaline aqueous solutions; no obvious hydrolysis at room temperature
Chemical Characteristics
- Molecular Structure: Simple amino acid with N-methyl substituted glycine structure, containing one carboxyl group and secondary amino group
- Core Functional Mechanism: Amphoteric compound with chelating capacity for metal ions; used as surfactant intermediate and biochemical detection substrate
- Photostability: Good light stability under sealed dry storage
- Thermal Stability: Stable below 180 °C; thermal decomposition above melting point releases irritant amine and carbon oxide fumes
- Chemical Compatibility: Compatible with most biological buffers and cosmetic raw materials; incompatible with strong oxidants and concentrated strong acids
3. Main Application Fields
- Core Application: Cosmetic Raw Material
Raw material for mild amphoteric surfactants, skin moisturizing and hair care formulations; improves skin smoothness and reduces irritation - Biochemical Laboratory Reagent
Standard substrate for glycine oxidase assay, tumor marker research and amino acid metabolism experiments - Pharmaceutical Synthetic Intermediate
Building block for antidepressants, muscle relaxants and polypeptide drug synthesis - Food & Feed Additive Auxiliary
Nutritional fortifier additive and flavor improver for animal feed
4. Platform Category & Product Group Guidance
