Baikiain is an organic compound with the molecular formula C₆H₉NO₂. Chemically, it is classified as a tetrahydropyridine substituted with a carboxylic acid. Because it contains both this carboxylic acid and an adjacent amine group, it is also an alpha-amino acid.^[1] Baikiain is one of the two enantiomers of the chiral compound 4,5-didehydropipecolic acid.
