Butanoic acid, 4-hydroxy-2-methyl-, sodium salt (1:1)

Description:
Butanoic acid, 4-hydroxy-2-methyl-, sodium salt (1:1), commonly referred to as sodium 4-hydroxy-2-methylbutanoate, is a sodium salt derived from the carboxylic acid butanoic acid, which features a hydroxyl group and a methyl group on the butanoic backbone. This compound is typically characterized by its white to off-white crystalline appearance and is soluble in water due to the presence of the sodium ion, which enhances its ionic nature. It exhibits properties typical of both acids and alcohols, making it useful in various applications, including as a food additive, flavoring agent, or in biochemical research. The presence of the hydroxyl group contributes to its potential as a mild acid, while the methyl group can influence its reactivity and interaction with other molecules. Additionally, this compound may have applications in pharmaceuticals and as a biochemical reagent, owing to its ability to participate in various chemical reactions. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
