Butanoic acid, 2-hydroxy-, sodium salt (1:1)

Description:
Butanoic acid, 2-hydroxy-, sodium salt (1:1), commonly known as sodium 2-hydroxybutanoate, is a sodium salt derived from butanoic acid, which is a four-carbon fatty acid. This compound features a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to the second carbon of the butanoic acid chain, making it a hydroxy acid. It is typically a white to off-white solid that is soluble in water due to the ionic nature of the sodium salt. The presence of the hydroxyl group contributes to its potential applications in various fields, including pharmaceuticals, food additives, and as a biochemical reagent. It can act as a buffering agent and is involved in metabolic processes. The compound is generally considered to be non-toxic and is used in various formulations, including those for personal care products. Its stability and reactivity can vary depending on environmental conditions, such as pH and temperature, which are important factors to consider in its applications.
