Oxiranecarboxylic acid, potassium salt

Description:

Oxiranecarboxylic acid, potassium salt, also known as potassium 3-oxobutanoate, is a chemical compound characterized by its unique structure that includes an oxirane (epoxide) ring and a carboxylic acid functional group. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in water, which is a common trait for many salts. The presence of the potassium ion contributes to its ionic nature, enhancing its solubility and reactivity in aqueous solutions. Oxiranecarboxylic acid, potassium salt is often utilized in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals. Its reactivity is influenced by the strained oxirane ring, making it a useful building block in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules. Additionally, the compound may exhibit biological activity, although specific applications can vary. As with many chemical substances, proper handling and safety precautions are essential due to potential reactivity and toxicity.

Potassium oxirane-2-carboxylate

CAS: 51877-54-4

Potassium oxirane-2-carboxylate is a chiral, silicon containing compound that inhibits the enzyme glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase. It has been shown to inhibit the formation of 6-phosphate in tubule cells. This inhibition leads to renal toxicity and may be due to its ability to catalyze primary alcohols into chloroacetone and malate. Potassium oxirane-2-carboxylate is an organosilicon compound that can be used as a catalyst for enzymatic reactions, such as dehydrogenation.
