3-Aminobutanoic acid can be used as a reactant to synthesize:
N
-aryl amino butanoic acids by Ullmann type aryl amination reaction with aryl halides.[1]
3-amino butanoic acid methyl ester, which is used as a chemical intermediate to prepare substituted piperidinone via an ester-imine derivative of aminobutanoic acid.[2]
External and internal signals can prime the plant immune system for a faster and/or stronger response to pathogen attack. β-aminobutyric acid (BABA) is an endogenous stress metabolite that induces broad-spectrum disease resistance in plants. BABA perception in Arabidopsis is mediated
CuI-catalyzed coupling reaction of β-amino acids or esters with aryl halides at temperature lower than that employed in the normal Ullmann reaction. Facile synthesis of SB-214857

beta-Aminobutyric acid (BABA) was used to induce resistance in grapevine (Vitis vinifera) against downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola). This led to a strong reduction of mycelial growth and sporulation in the susceptible cv. Chasselas. Comparing different inducers, the best protection was

The priming agent β-aminobutyric acid (BABA) is known to enhance Arabidopsis resistance to the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst) DC3000 by potentiating salicylic acid (SA) defence signalling, notably PR1 expression. The molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain unknown.
