2-Hydroxy-3-methylbutanedioic acid

Description:
2-Hydroxy-3-methylbutanedioic acid, commonly known as mesaconic acid, is a dicarboxylic acid characterized by its two carboxyl (-COOH) groups and a hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to a five-carbon chain. It is a colorless, crystalline solid that is soluble in water and exhibits a slightly acidic nature due to the presence of the carboxylic acid groups. The compound has a molecular formula of C5H8O4 and features a chiral center, which contributes to its stereochemistry. Mesaconic acid is used in various applications, including organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of certain pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its derivatives can also be utilized in the synthesis of polymers and other complex organic compounds. Additionally, it plays a role in metabolic pathways in certain organisms, highlighting its biological significance. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as with many organic acids, to avoid irritation or adverse reactions.
