In the sophisticated field of organic chemistry and drug discovery, chiral molecules play a pivotal role. Chirality, the property of a molecule being non-superimposable on its mirror image, is fundamental to biological activity. 2-Hydroxy-4-aminobutanoic acid, identified by CAS number 13477-53-7, is a valuable chiral building block whose specific optical properties are critical for its applications. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. emphasizes the importance of its specific rotation in various synthetic pathways.

The specific rotation of 2-hydroxy-4-aminobutanoic acid, measured between -28.5 and -32.5 degrees, is a key indicator of its stereochemical configuration. This characteristic is particularly important when this compound is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals where enantiomeric purity is essential for therapeutic efficacy and safety. For instance, in the production of amikacin, the precise spatial arrangement of atoms is crucial for the antibiotic's interaction with bacterial ribosomes. This makes it a vital component for chiral building blocks in drug discovery and development.
