Malonic-2-^13C acid, also known as 2-^13C-malonate, is a stable isotopologue of malonic acid, which is a dicarboxylic acid with the molecular formula C3H4O4. The presence of the ^13C isotope indicates that one of the carbon atoms in the molecule is a heavier isotope of carbon, which is useful in various applications, particularly in NMR spectroscopy and metabolic studies. Malonic acid itself is a colorless, crystalline solid that is soluble in water and has a slightly acidic taste. It is commonly used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various derivatives and as a building block in the synthesis of larger molecules. The introduction of the ^13C label allows researchers to trace metabolic pathways and study carbon flux in biological systems. Malonic-2-^13C acid retains the characteristic properties of malonic acid, including its reactivity and ability to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and decarboxylation.
