1,1-Dimethylethyl γ-amino-4-pyridinebutanoate

Description:

1,1-Dimethylethyl γ-amino-4-pyridinebutanoate, also known by its CAS number 77742-30-4, is a chemical compound that features a pyridine ring and an amino acid structure. This compound typically exhibits characteristics associated with both amines and carboxylic acids, which can influence its solubility and reactivity. It is likely to be a solid at room temperature and may have moderate solubility in polar solvents due to the presence of the amino and carboxyl functional groups. The dimethyl group contributes to steric hindrance, which can affect its biological activity and interaction with other molecules. This compound may be of interest in pharmaceutical research, particularly in the development of drugs targeting neurological or metabolic pathways, given the presence of the pyridine moiety, which is often found in biologically active compounds. Additionally, its structural features suggest potential for forming hydrogen bonds, influencing its interactions in biological systems. As with many organic compounds, safety data should be consulted for handling and usage.
