Pentanoic acid, 3-oxo-, 1,1-dimethylethyl ester

Description:

Pentanoic acid, 3-oxo-, 1,1-dimethylethyl ester, also known as 3-oxo-pentanoic acid 1,1-dimethylethyl ester, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from pentanoic acid. This compound features a ketone group at the third carbon position, contributing to its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. The presence of the tert-butyl group (1,1-dimethylethyl) enhances its stability and solubility in organic solvents, making it useful in various chemical reactions and formulations. The compound is likely to be soluble in non-polar solvents and may exhibit moderate polarity due to the carboxylic acid derivative. As with many esters, it may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water, reverting to its acid and alcohol components. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as esters can be irritants and may pose environmental hazards.

tert-Butyl 3-oxopentanoate

CAS: 33400-61-2

Tert-Butyl 3-oxopentanoate is a chemical compound that has insulin-like growth factor (IGF) activity. This compound is synthesized from the reduction of tert-butyl 3-oxopinanedioate and reacts with a factor receptor. Tert-Butyl 3-oxopentanoate has been shown to inhibit the cancer cell proliferation by reducing the radiation induced DNA damage. The crystal structure of this compound has been determined using X-ray diffraction and molecular dynamics simulations, which have revealed that it is an inactive form of IGF.
