Butanoic acid, 3,4-dihydroxy-, monosodium salt

Description:

Butanoic acid, 3,4-dihydroxy-, monosodium salt, also known as sodium 3,4-dihydroxybutanoate, is a sodium salt derived from butanoic acid, which is a four-carbon fatty acid. This compound features two hydroxyl (-OH) groups located at the 3 and 4 positions of the butanoic acid backbone, contributing to its properties as a dihydroxy derivative. It is typically a white to off-white solid that is soluble in water due to the presence of the sodium ion and hydroxyl groups, which enhance its hydrophilicity. The compound is often used in biochemical and pharmaceutical applications, particularly in studies related to metabolism and as a potential therapeutic agent. Its structure allows it to participate in various biochemical reactions, making it relevant in research involving metabolic pathways. Additionally, the presence of hydroxyl groups can influence its reactivity and interactions with other molecules, including enzymes and substrates in biological systems.
