Application

4-Amino-1-butanol was used in the synthesis of cyclic amines.
4-Amino-1-butanol was used:
  • As a linker in the synthesis of highly branched poly(β-amino esters)(HPAEs) for gene delivery.
  • As a side chain to modulate antimicrobial and hemolytic activities of copolymers.
  • In the total synthesis of (+)-fawcettimine,(+)-fawcettidine, and (−)-lycojapodine A.
