CAS 13022-83-8: Pentanoic acid, 2-oxo-, sodium salt (1:1)

Description: Pentanoic acid, 2-oxo-, sodium salt (1:1), also known as sodium 2-oxopentanoate, is a sodium salt derived from 2-oxopentanoic acid, which is a five-carbon dicarboxylic acid. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in water due to the presence of the sodium ion, which enhances its ionic character. It is characterized by its carboxylate functional group, which imparts acidic properties, and the keto group, which can participate in various chemical reactions, including condensation and oxidation. The presence of the sodium ion makes it a stable salt form, often used in biochemical applications and as a potential intermediate in organic synthesis. Its applications may extend to food chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and as a biochemical reagent. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with all chemical substances, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
