  2. α-Aminobutyric acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Α-aminobutyric_acid

    α-Aminobutyric acid (AABA), also known as homoalanine in biochemistry, is a non-proteinogenic alpha amino acid with chemical formula C 4 H 9 NO 2. The straight two carbon side chain is one carbon longer than alanine, hence the prefix homo-. The conjugate base of α-aminobutyric acid is the carboxylate α-aminobutyrate.

    Venenivibrio stagnispumantis gains energy by oxidizing hydrogen gas.. In biochemistry, chemosynthesis is the biological conversion of one or more carbon-containing molecules (usually carbon dioxide or methane) and nutrients into organic matter using the oxidation of inorganic compounds (e.g., hydrogen gas, hydrogen sulfide) or ferrous ions as a source of energy, rather than sunlight, as in ...

  6. 2-Aminoisobutyric acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2-Aminoisobutyric_acid

    2-Aminoisobutyric acid (also known as α-aminoisobutyric acid, AIB, α-methylalanine, or 2-methylalanine) is the non-proteinogenic amino acid with the structural formula H 2 N-C(CH 3) 2-COOH. It is rare in nature, having been only found in meteorites, [ 2 ] and some antibiotics of fungal origin, such as alamethicin and some lantibiotics .

    One example is [B 12 (CH 3) 12] 2-and its radical derivative [B 12 (CH 3) 12] −. [16] Related cluster compounds with carbon vertices are carboranes; the best known is orthocarborane, C 2 B 10 H 12. Carboranes have few commercial applications. Anionic derivatives such as [C 2 B 9 H 11] 2−, called dicarbollides, ligate similarly to ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hofmann–Löffler_reaction

    When N-chloroamine 56 was treated with sulfuric acid and heat, 2-adamantanone was formed, but photolysis of 56 in the sulfuric acid-acetic acid mixture, using a low-pressure mercury lamp at 25 °C for 1-hour gave a good yield (85%) of the desired product 57. The cyclization of 57 presented considerable difficulties, but it was finally achieved ...
