3-aminoheptanoic acid

Description:
3-Aminoheptanoic acid, also known as 3-amino-hexanoic acid, is an organic compound characterized by its aliphatic chain and the presence of both an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH). This compound features a seven-carbon backbone, with the amino group located on the third carbon, which influences its chemical properties and reactivity. It is a colorless to pale yellow solid at room temperature and is soluble in water due to the polar nature of its functional groups. The presence of the amino group allows it to participate in various chemical reactions, including peptide bond formation, making it relevant in biochemical applications. Additionally, 3-aminoheptanoic acid can act as a building block for the synthesis of more complex molecules, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structural characteristics contribute to its potential use in various fields, including medicinal chemistry and materials science. As with many amino acids, it may exhibit zwitterionic behavior in solution, depending on the pH.
