Acetoxyacetic acid

Description:

Acetoxyacetic acid, also known as 2-acetoxyacetic acid, is an organic compound characterized by its carboxylic acid functional group and an acetoxy group. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. This compound is soluble in water and organic solvents, making it versatile for various applications. Acetoxyacetic acid is primarily used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Its structure allows it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and acylation. The presence of both an acetoxy and a carboxylic acid group contributes to its reactivity and potential as a building block in more complex molecules. Safety considerations include handling it with care, as it may cause irritation to skin and eyes. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from incompatible substances is essential to maintain its stability and efficacy.

Controlled Product

CAS: 13831-30-6

Applications α-Acetoxyacetic Acid, is a versatile organic building block, used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, including inhibitors and therapeutic agents. It can be used for the synthesis of analogs of 5-Aminolevulinic Acid, which are potential inhibitors of ALA dehydratase (porphobilinogen synthase), an early enzyme of tetrapyrrole biosynthesis.
