Usage

General Description

DL-2-aminobutyric acid is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C4H9NO2. It is an amino acid derivative that is structurally similar to gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter involved in the central nervous system. DL-2-aminobutyric acid is used in research and pharmaceutical applications to study the effects of GABA and related compounds on neurological function and to develop potential treatments for conditions such as anxiety, epilepsy, and neuropathic pain. It is also being investigated for its potential role in modulating neurotransmitter activity in the brain. Additionally, DL-2-aminobutyric acid has some potential as a biomarker for certain metabolic disorders and it may have applications in the production of pharmaceuticals.

METHOD OF SEPARATING AND COLLECTING OPTICALLY ACTIVE AMINO ACID AMIDE

[PROBLEMS] To provide a method of efficiently separating and collecting an optically active amino acid amide and an optically active amino acid, which are highly important substances as intermediates in producing various industrial products, pesticides and medicines, from an aqueous solution containing the optically active amino acid amide and the optically active amino acid. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] In separating and collecting an optically active amino acid amide from an aqueous solution containing the optically active amino acid amide and an optically active amino acid by using the difference in solubility in an organic solvent between the optically active amino acid amide and the optically active amino acid, the separation/collection procedures are carried out, without desalting the aqueous solution or after desalting the same, under such conditions that the ratio (C/A) of the sum of the anionic equivalents (A) contained in the aqueous solution to the sum of the cation equivalents (C) ranges from 0.95 to 1.05 in the case of the non-desalted aqueous solution, or from 0.5 to 1.5 in the case of the desalted aqueous solution.
