Aminoacetaldehyde is the organic compound with the formula OHCCH2NH2. Under the usual laboratory conditions, it is unstable, tending instead to undergo self-condensation.[1] Aminoacetaldehyde diethylacetal is a stable surrogate.[2]
In nature, aminoacetaldehyde is produced by oxygenation of taurine catalyzed by taurine dioxygenase, which produces the sulfite H2NCH2CH(OH)SO3−.
