Alaninol

Alaninol is the organic compound with the formula CH3CH(NH2)CH2OH. A colorless solid, the compound is classified as an amino alcohol. It can be generated by converting the carboxylic group of alanine to an alcohol with a strong reducing agent such as lithium aluminium hydride,[1]. The compound is chiral, and as is normal for chiral compounds, the physical propertiies of the racemate differ somewhat from those of the enantiomers. It is a precursor too numerous chiral ligands used in asymmetric catalysis.[2]
