Alaninol is the organic compound with the formula CH₃CH(NH₂)CH₂OH. 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] The compound is chiral, and a precursor to numerous chiral ligands used in asymmetric catalysis.^[2] The compound is an example of a 1,2-ethanolamine.^[3]
