CAS 3641-51-8

(+)-Methylsuccinic acid

Description:

(+)-Methylsuccinic acid, with the CAS number 3641-51-8, is a chiral dicarboxylic acid characterized by its two carboxyl functional groups (-COOH) and a methyl group attached to the succinic acid backbone. This compound exists in two enantiomeric forms, with the (+) designation indicating its specific optical activity. It is a colorless to pale yellow solid that is soluble in water and polar organic solvents. The presence of the methyl group introduces steric hindrance, influencing its reactivity and interactions with other molecules. (+)-Methylsuccinic acid is utilized in various applications, including organic synthesis, where it serves as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, it can participate in biochemical processes, acting as a building block for more complex molecules. Its properties, such as melting point, boiling point, and acidity, are influenced by the molecular structure and the presence of functional groups, making it an interesting subject of study in both organic chemistry and biochemistry.
