Alanine was first synthesized in 1850 when Adolph Strecker combined acetaldehyde and ammonia with hydrogen cyanide. [8] [9] [10] The amino acid was named Alanin in German, in reference to aldehyde, with the interfix-an-for ease of pronunciation, [11] the German ending -in used in chemical compounds being analogous to English -ine.

β-Alanine (beta-alanine) is a naturally occurring beta amino acid, which is an amino acid in which the amino group is attached to the β-carbon (i.e. the carbon two carbon atoms away from the carboxylate group) instead of the more usual α-carbon for alanine (α-alanine). The IUPAC name for β-alanine is 3-aminopropanoic acid.
Amino acids are formally named by the IUPAC-IUBMB Joint Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature in terms of the fictitious "neutral" structure shown in the illustration. For example, the systematic name of alanine is 2-aminopropanoic acid, based on the formula CH 3 −CH(NH 2)−COOH. The Commission justified this approach as follows: [7]

Alaninol is the organic compound with the formula CH 3 CH(NH 2)CH 2 OH. 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]
