(2E)-4-hydroxybut-2-enoic acid

Description:

(2E)-4-hydroxybut-2-enoic acid, also known as trans-4-hydroxycrotonic acid, is an organic compound characterized by its unsaturated carboxylic acid structure. It features a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a double bond between the second and third carbon atoms in its chain, contributing to its reactivity and potential applications in various chemical reactions. The presence of the hydroxyl group enhances its solubility in water and its ability to participate in hydrogen bonding, which can influence its physical properties, such as boiling and melting points. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its state at room temperature. It is of interest in biochemical research and may serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of other organic compounds. Additionally, its structural features suggest potential roles in biological systems, particularly in metabolic pathways. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
