CAS 103765-03-3: (R)-(-)-2-AMINOBUTANAMIDE HYDROCHLORIDE

(R)-2-Aminobutanamide hydrochloride is a compound that contains chloride gas. This compound is an alkylating agent, which means it can form new carbon-nitrogen bonds by adding to the electrophilic center of a molecule. This process is used industrially to produce butyronitrile, which is a precursor for nylon and other plastics. The introduction of (R)-2-aminobutanamide hydrochloride into industrial processes has decreased the use of l-tartaric acid, diluent, and hydrogen chloride. The impurities in this compound are typically quantified using gas chromatography with flame ionization detection. (R)-2-Aminobutanamide hydrochloride is an acidic compound that dissociates in water to release hydrogen chloride. It has two chiral forms: The enantiomers have different chemical properties due to their different configurations around the central carbon atom. In the case of (

Applications (R)-2-Aminobutyramide Hydrochloride is used as a reagent in the synthesis of a new class of 2-[(arylalkyl)amino]alkanamide derivatives which have anticonvulsant activity. References Pevarello, P., et al.: J. Med. Chem., 41, 579 (1998)
