 | Hazard Information | Back Directory |  | [Chemical Properties] 
 Needle-shaped crystals. Melting point 67-68°C. Soluble in water, ethanol, and methanol, freely soluble in acetone, chloroform, and ethyl acetate, slightly soluble in ether and benzene. Has a strongly alkaline reaction and can absorb carbon dioxide. Reacts with hot water to form glycine and ammonia.
 |  | [Uses] 
 2-Aminoacetamide is a derivative of the amino acid glycine . It has been shown to inhibit the conversion of proparathyroid hormone to parathyroid hormone. It can be useful in the identification of yeasts. It can also be useful in the synthesis of Oxiracetam , which is a derivative of Piracetam  and a nootropic drug useful for improving cognition and memory impairments.
 |  | [Definition] 
 ChEBI:Glycinamide is an amino acid amide and a glycine derivative.
 |  | [Synthesis] 
 The mild and effective aminodibromination reaction of nitroolefins with amphoteric ions as organocatalysts resulted in the efficient conversion of aminodibromo products to glycinamide.
