(Z)-4-((Carboxymethyl)amino)-4-oxobut-2-enoic acid is a specialized unsaturated dicarboxylic acid derivative used in peptide synthesis and polymer chemistry. Its core production involves controlled amidation of maleic anhydride derivatives followed by precise stereochemical hydrogenation to ensure the (Z)-configuration.
Store under inert atmosphere at 2-8°C to prevent degradation. Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes; use appropriate PPE including nitrile gloves and safety goggles during handling.
