2-(acetylamino)butanoic acid

Description:

2-(Acetylamino)butanoic acid, also known as N-acetyl-L-threonine, is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of both an acetylamino group and a carboxylic acid functional group. This compound features a four-carbon backbone with an amino group attached to the second carbon and an acetyl group on the same carbon, which contributes to its unique properties. It is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid that is soluble in water due to the polar nature of its functional groups. The presence of the carboxylic acid group allows it to participate in acid-base reactions, while the acetylamino group can engage in hydrogen bonding, influencing its reactivity and interactions in biological systems. This compound is of interest in biochemical research and may play a role in metabolic pathways. Its CAS number, 34271-27-7, is used for identification in chemical databases and regulatory contexts. Overall, 2-(acetylamino)butanoic acid exhibits characteristics typical of amino acids, including chirality and the ability to form peptides.
