4-Amino-1-methyl-4-piperidinecarboxylic acid

Description:
4-Amino-1-methyl-4-piperidinecarboxylic acid, also known as L-lysine, is an amino acid characterized by its piperidine ring structure, which includes an amino group and a carboxylic acid functional group. This compound is a colorless to white crystalline solid that is soluble in water, reflecting its polar nature due to the presence of both amino and carboxyl groups. It is a basic amino acid, contributing to its role in protein synthesis and metabolism. The presence of the methyl group at the 1-position of the piperidine ring influences its steric and electronic properties, making it a key intermediate in various biochemical pathways. Additionally, it has applications in pharmaceuticals and as a dietary supplement, particularly in promoting muscle growth and recovery. The compound is stable under normal conditions but may undergo degradation under extreme pH or temperature. Its molecular structure allows for interactions with other biomolecules, making it significant in both biological and synthetic chemistry contexts.
