:(R)-2,3-dihydroxy-3-methylbutanoic acid
Description:
(R)-2,3-dihydroxy-3-methylbutanoic acid, also known as a derivative of a branched-chain amino acid, is characterized by its two hydroxyl (-OH) groups and a carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional group, which contribute to its solubility in water and its ability to participate in various chemical reactions. This compound is a chiral molecule, meaning it exists in two enantiomeric forms, with the (R) configuration indicating the specific spatial arrangement of its atoms. It is typically found in biological systems and can play a role in metabolic pathways. The presence of the hydroxyl groups enhances its reactivity, allowing it to engage in hydrogen bonding, which can influence its interactions with other molecules. Additionally, the methyl group contributes to its hydrophobic character, affecting its overall polarity. This compound may be of interest in biochemical research and applications, particularly in studies related to metabolism and enzyme interactions. Its CAS number, 19451-56-0, is a unique identifier that facilitates its identification in chemical databases and literature.
