Pentanoic acid, 5-hydroxy-, monosodium salt

Description:

Pentanoic acid, 5-hydroxy-, monosodium salt, also known as sodium 5-hydroxyvalerate, is a sodium salt derived from pentanoic acid, which is a straight-chain fatty acid. This compound features a hydroxyl group (-OH) at the fifth carbon of the pentanoic acid chain, contributing to its classification as a hydroxy acid. It is typically a white to off-white solid that is soluble in water due to the presence of the sodium ion and the polar hydroxyl group. The compound is often used in biochemical applications, particularly in the study of metabolic pathways and as a potential precursor in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals. Its properties include being hygroscopic and having a relatively low melting point. As a salt, it exhibits ionic characteristics, which can influence its reactivity and interactions in biological systems. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as with many chemical substances, to avoid potential irritation or adverse reactions.
