CAS 17091-15-5: Pentanedioic acid, 2-oxo-, sodium salt (1:?)

Description: Pentanedioic acid, 2-oxo-, sodium salt, commonly referred to as sodium 2-oxopentanedioate, is a sodium salt derived from pentanedioic acid (also known as glutaric acid) with a keto group at the second carbon position. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder and is soluble in water, which enhances its utility in various applications. It is often used in biochemical research and as a potential intermediate in organic synthesis. The presence of the sodium ion contributes to its ionic character, making it more soluble in polar solvents. The compound may exhibit properties such as being a mild acid and can participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and condensation. Its structure allows for potential chelation with metal ions, which can be useful in catalysis or as a stabilizing agent in formulations. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
