:4,5-Dioxopentanoic acid
Description:
4,5-Dioxopentanoic acid, also known as 2,3-dioxopentanoic acid, is an organic compound characterized by its dicarbonyl functional groups, specifically two ketone groups located at the 4th and 5th positions of a five-carbon chain. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in polar solvents due to its carboxylic acid group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. The presence of the dicarbonyl moiety contributes to its reactivity, making it a potential intermediate in various organic synthesis reactions. It can participate in condensation reactions and may serve as a building block for more complex molecules. Additionally, 4,5-dioxopentanoic acid can be involved in biochemical pathways, particularly in the metabolism of certain amino acids. Its CAS number, 5976-90-9, is used for identification in chemical databases and regulatory contexts. As with many organic compounds, handling should be done with care, considering potential hazards associated with its reactivity and toxicity.
