DL-2-Aminobutyric acid Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Off-White Solid

Uses

A descriptor amino acid QSARs peptide. When applied in combination with Glucose, DL-2-Aminobutyric acid produces a flavor reminiscent of Maple sugar.  Finds considerable use in flavor work, It is a commercially available Maple flavor material. 

Production Methods

Can be isolated from natural proteins. It is present in the tendon of the sperm whale and along wit h many ot tm” artima 1 proteins.

Definition

ChEBI: An alpha-amino acid that is butyric acid bearing a single amino substituent located at position 2.

Purification Methods

Crystallise the acid from water. [Albertson & McKay J Am Chem Soc 81 505 1959, Perrin J Chem Soc 3125 1958, Beilstein 4 IV 2584.]
