Description
N-Methylalanine, also known as (S)-2-methylaminopropanoate or N-methyl-L-alanine, is classified as an alanine or an alanine derivative. Alanines are compounds containing alanine or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of alanine at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. N-Methylalanine is considered to be soluble (in water) and acidic. (ChemoSummarizer)
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alanine and derivatives. Alanine and derivatives are compounds containing alanine or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of alanine at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom.
