2,3-Butanediol

Description:

2,3-Butanediol is a colorless, viscous liquid that belongs to the class of organic compounds known as diols or glycols, characterized by the presence of two hydroxyl (-OH) groups. Its molecular formula is C4H10O2, and it has a molecular weight of approximately 90.12 g/mol. This compound exhibits a sweet taste and is soluble in water, making it useful in various applications, including as a solvent and in the production of plastics and pharmaceuticals. 2,3-Butanediol can exist in three stereoisomeric forms, with the most common being the meso form, which has a symmetrical structure. It is produced through fermentation processes by certain microorganisms and can also be synthesized chemically. The substance has a relatively low toxicity, but like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care to avoid irritation. Additionally, 2,3-butanediol can serve as a precursor for the synthesis of other chemicals, highlighting its importance in organic chemistry and industrial applications.

2,3-Butanediol is a glycol that is produced by the fermentation of sugars or carbohydrates. It is used in the synthesis of acetoin, which is an important flavor compound in various foods and beverages. The production of 2,3-butanediol from glucose was achieved through the use of a novel asymmetric synthesis reaction with inorganic acid as catalyst. 2,3-Butanediol can also be synthesized from adipic acid using aerobacter aerogenes as catalyst. This process has been shown to be efficient with wild-type strains and provides high yields under mild conditions.
2,3-Butanediol has been shown to have antibiotic activity against tetracycline resistant bacteria and may inhibit bacterial growth by binding to DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV enzymes. The hydroxyl group on the molecule makes it more reactive than other glycols because it can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules.
