Description:
2-Ethyl-2-hydroxybutanoic acid, with the CAS number 3639-21-2, is an organic compound characterized by its carboxylic acid functional group and a hydroxyl group attached to a butanoic acid backbone. This compound features a branched structure due to the presence of an ethyl group at the second carbon position, which contributes to its unique properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is soluble in water due to the polar nature of the hydroxyl and carboxylic acid groups. The presence of these functional groups also imparts acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and neutralization. 2-Ethyl-2-hydroxybutanoic acid may be used in the synthesis of various chemical intermediates and has potential applications in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
