:3,3-Dimethyl-2-oxopentanoic acid
Description:
3,3-Dimethyl-2-oxopentanoic acid, with the CAS number 34906-91-7, is an organic compound characterized by its carboxylic acid functional group and a ketone group. This compound features a five-carbon backbone with two methyl groups attached to the third carbon, contributing to its branched structure. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its state at room temperature. The presence of both the carboxylic acid and ketone functional groups imparts acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and condensation. Its molecular structure makes it a potential intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, 3,3-Dimethyl-2-oxopentanoic acid may exhibit moderate solubility in polar solvents due to the carboxylic acid group, while its branched nature can influence its reactivity and interaction with other molecules. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance.

3,3-Dimethyl-2-oxopentanoic acid
CAS:<p>3,3-Dimethyl-2-oxopentanoic acid is an organic compound which is a metabolite of valine in humans. It is a hydrophobic molecule and can be reduced by enzymes to form 3,3-dimethyl-2-oxovaleric acid. 3,3-Dimethyl-2-oxopentanoic acid has been shown to have reductive amination activity with phenylalanine and leucine, which suggests that it may be able to convert these amino acids into other compounds such as lysine or alanine. This conversion could potentially be used in the production of lactobacillus.</p>Purity:Min. 95%
