DL-3-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

white powder

Uses

3-Aminobutyric Acid is one of the three positional isomer of the the chemical compound butryric acid. 3-Aminobutyric Acid is a nonprotein amino acid. 3-Aminobutyric Acid has been shown to be a plant d efense primer that suppresses growth of some insect herbivores when applied as a root drench.

Uses

3-Aminobutanoic acid can be used as a reactant to synthesize:

• N

• -aryl amino butanoic acids by Ullmann type aryl amination reaction with aryl halides.
• 3-amino butanoic acid methyl ester, which is used as a chemical intermediate to prepare substituted piperidinone via an ester-imine derivative of aminobutanoic acid.

Definition

ChEBI: A beta-amino acid that is butyric acid which is substituted by an amino group at position 3.

Hazard

Highly toxic.
