Application

5-Aminovaleric acid (5-AVA) is used:
  • In the preparation of (5-AVA)x(MA)1-xPbI3, a perovskite for fabricating printable mesoscopic perovskite solar cell.
  • As a spacer in the synthesis of rhenium and technetium-99m labeled insulin.
  • To synthesize dipeptides that self-assemble to form nanotubes in the solid state as well as in solution over a wide range of pH.
  • As a starting material in the total synthesis of an alkaloid, lycoposerramine Z.
