Application

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.
