Description

3-Amino-3-methylbutanoic acid is a carbonaceous compound that can be synthesized from b-alanine and perchloroethylene. It is used in the manufacture of butanoic acid, which is an important industrial chemical. 3-Amino-3-methylbutanoic acid has been shown to exist as four isomers, each with a different molecular weight. The isomers are produced by a synthetic process involving the reaction of b-alanine and perchloroethylene. In an amination reaction, the compounds are heated in the presence of ammonia gas or ammonium chloride to form 3-amino-3-methylbutanoic acid.
