Acetyl-L-alanine amide (AALA) is a cyclic amide. It is an amphiprotic solute that can interact with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic environments. AALA has a pairwise interaction with chloride ions, which are negatively charged, and it also interacts with the hydration shell of water molecules. The intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the amine group of AALA and the primary amines in polar solvents is also important for understanding its properties. The interactions between AALA and other compounds depend on temperature, pH, and the concentration of reactants. Increasing temperatures or concentrations will lead to an increase in enthalpic interactions between AALA and other compounds.
