L-3-Hydroxybutyric acid

Description:

L-3-Hydroxybutyric acid, also known as L-beta-hydroxybutyric acid, is a chiral organic compound with the molecular formula C4H8O3. It is a hydroxy acid that features a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) in its structure, making it a member of the larger family of hydroxy acids. This compound is typically found in its L-form, which is biologically relevant and plays a role in various metabolic processes, particularly in the context of energy metabolism and ketogenesis. L-3-Hydroxybutyric acid is soluble in water and exhibits a slightly acidic nature due to the presence of the carboxylic acid group. It is often studied for its potential therapeutic applications, including its role in metabolic disorders and as a supplement in ketogenic diets. Additionally, it can serve as a precursor for the synthesis of other biochemical compounds. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as with many organic acids, to avoid irritation or adverse reactions.
