CAS: 1756-18-9

2,3-Dihydroxy-3-methylbutanoic acid (2,3DMB) is a hydrophobic molecule that is used as an activator of the butyric acid pathway. This activation mechanism has been shown in vitro with the use of 2,3DMB and racemase to convert isovaleric acid into butyric acid. The activation mechanism can be seen in vivo by synthesizing 2,3DMB from its constituent parts: magnesium ion and a monocarboxylic acid. The reaction occurs when magnesium ion binds to the carboxyl group of a monocarboxylic acid in the presence of water. In this reaction, water acts as a base to remove hydrogen ions from the carboxyl group and release protons. The protonated carboxyl group then reacts with magnesium ion to form an intermediate compound called Grignard reagent. The Grignard reagent will react with water to form an
