:Pentanoic acid, 2-hydroxy-, (2R)-
Description:
Pentanoic acid, 2-hydroxy-, (2R)-, also known as 2-hydroxypentanoic acid, is a chiral organic compound characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to the second carbon of a five-carbon pentanoic acid chain. This compound is a carboxylic acid, which means it contains a carboxyl group (-COOH) that contributes to its acidic properties. The (2R) designation indicates the specific stereochemistry of the hydroxyl group, which is important for its biological activity and interactions. Pentanoic acid, 2-hydroxy-, (2R)- is typically a colorless liquid or solid at room temperature and is soluble in water due to the polar nature of the hydroxyl group. It may be used in various applications, including as a building block in organic synthesis, in the production of pharmaceuticals, and in biochemical research. Its properties, such as melting point, boiling point, and reactivity, can vary based on environmental conditions and the presence of other substances.
