Pentanoic acid, 3,5-dihydroxy-3-methyl-, lithium salt (1:1)

Description:
Pentanoic acid, 3,5-dihydroxy-3-methyl-, lithium salt (1:1) is a lithium salt of a modified pentanoic acid, characterized by the presence of hydroxyl groups at the 3 and 5 positions and a methyl group at the 3 position of the pentanoic acid backbone. This compound typically exhibits properties associated with both organic acids and metal salts, including solubility in polar solvents due to the presence of hydroxyl groups, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. The lithium ion contributes to the compound's ionic character, potentially enhancing its solubility in water and other polar media. The presence of hydroxyl groups may also impart additional reactivity, making it useful in various chemical applications, including as a potential intermediate in organic synthesis or as a stabilizing agent in formulations. The compound's unique structure may influence its biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical research. As with many lithium salts, care should be taken regarding its handling and storage due to the potential for reactivity and the need for specific conditions to maintain stability.
