Application

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.
  • 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.

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
