1,4-Dimethyl 2,3-dihydroxy- (2R,3R)butanedioate

Description:

1,4-Dimethyl 2,3-dihydroxy-(2R,3R)butanedioate, with the CAS number 608-68-4, is a chemical compound characterized by its specific stereochemistry and functional groups. It features two hydroxyl (-OH) groups and a diester functional group, which contributes to its reactivity and solubility in polar solvents. The presence of the methyl groups enhances its hydrophobic character while the hydroxyl groups increase its potential for hydrogen bonding. This compound is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid at room temperature and is soluble in water and various organic solvents. Its stereochemistry, indicated by the (2R,3R) configuration, plays a crucial role in its biological activity and interactions with other molecules. 1,4-Dimethyl 2,3-dihydroxy-(2R,3R)butanedioate is often studied for its potential applications in pharmaceuticals and biochemistry, particularly in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules. As with many organic compounds, proper handling and storage are essential to maintain its stability and prevent degradation.

Dimethyl L-(+)-tartrate

CAS: 608-68-4

Dimethyl L-(+)-tartrate is a natural compound that can be found in wines and honey. It has been shown to have antiviral activity against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). Dimethyl L-(+)-tartrate has also been shown to be a potent inhibitor of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) by preventing it from entering cells. Dimethyl L-(+)-tartrate inhibits HIV-1 by interfering with the ability of the virus to bind to CD4 receptors, thereby blocking entry into cells. Dimethyl L-(+)-tartrate is a tetronic acid, which is an organic acid that contains two carboxyl groups, one on each end of the molecule. It exhibits structural features such as vibrational and hydrogen bonding properties that are similar to those observed for other nucleophilic compounds, such as trifluoroacetic acid and dimethyl sulfate. The molecule consists of two
