CAS 498-21-5
:Methylsuccinic acid
Description:
Methylsuccinic acid, with the CAS number 498-21-5, is a dicarboxylic acid characterized by its two carboxyl functional groups (-COOH) and a methyl group attached to the succinic acid backbone. It exists in two isomeric forms: 2-methylsuccinic acid and 3-methylsuccinic acid, which differ in the position of the methyl group. This compound is a colorless, crystalline solid that is soluble in water and polar organic solvents. Methylsuccinic acid is known for its role in various biochemical pathways, particularly in the metabolism of certain amino acids and fatty acids. It can be synthesized through the catalytic hydrogenation of maleic anhydride or by the methylation of succinic acid. The compound has applications in the production of biodegradable polymers, pharmaceuticals, and as a building block in organic synthesis. Additionally, it exhibits properties such as being a weak acid, with a pKa that allows it to participate in acid-base reactions, making it useful in various chemical processes.

CAS:2-Methylsuccinic acid (Standard) is a reference standard for research and analysis in studies involving 2-Methylsuccinic acid. 2-Methylsuccinic acid (Pyrotartaric Acid) is a normal metabolite found in human fluids. Increased urinary levels of 2-Methylsuccinic acid (Pyrotartaric Acid) (together with ethylmalonic acid) are the main biochemical measurable features in ethylmalonic encephalopathy, a rare metabolic disorder with an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance that is clinically characterized by neuromotor delay, hyperlactic acidemia, recurrent petechiae, orthostatic acrocyanosis, and chronic diarrhea.Formula:C5H8O4Color and Shape:SolidMolecular weight:132.112-Methylsuccinic acid
