5-AMINOVALERIC ACID Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

white to off-white crystalline powder

Uses

5-Aminovaleric acid (5-AVA) is used:

• In the preparation of (5-AVA)_x(MA)_1-xPbI₃, a perovskite for fabricating printable mesoscopic perovskite solar cell.
• As a spacer in the synthesis of rhenium and technetium-99m labeled insulin.
• To synthesize dipeptides that self-assemble to form nanotubes in the solid state as well as in solution over a wide range of pH.
• As a starting material in the total synthesis of an alkaloid, lycoposerramine Z.

Uses

5-Aminovaleric Acid is used in the development of drugs that halts severe type of seizures.

Definition

ChEBI: A delta-amino acid comprising pentanoic acid with an amino substituent at C-5; a methylene homologue of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) that is a weak GABA agonist.

Purification Methods

Crystallise it from H2O/EtOH. When heated above its melting point, it is converted to 2-piperidone with m 200o. [Wood & Colver J Am Chem Soc 67 654 1945, Beilstein 4 IV 2636.]
