(2S)-2-Methylpentanedioic acid

Description:
(2S)-2-Methylpentanedioic acid, also known as meso-2-methylsuccinic acid, is a dicarboxylic acid characterized by its two carboxyl (-COOH) functional groups located at the first and fifth carbon atoms of a five-carbon chain, with a methyl group attached to the second carbon. This compound is a chiral molecule, existing in a specific stereoisomeric form due to the presence of a stereocenter at the second carbon. It is typically a colorless, crystalline solid that is soluble in water and exhibits acidic properties. The presence of two carboxylic acid groups allows it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and amidation. Its structure contributes to its potential applications in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, and as a building block in the production of biodegradable polymers. Additionally, (2S)-2-methylpentanedioic acid can be involved in metabolic pathways, making it of interest in biochemistry and nutrition. Safety data indicates that, like many organic acids, it should be handled with care to avoid irritation.
