2-Methylglutaric acid

Description:

2-Methylglutaric acid, with the CAS number 617-62-9, is a dicarboxylic acid characterized by its two carboxyl functional groups (-COOH) and a branched alkyl chain. It has the molecular formula C6H10O4 and features a methyl group attached to the second carbon of the pentanedioic acid backbone. This compound is typically a colorless, viscous liquid or solid at room temperature and is soluble in water due to its polar carboxylic acid groups. 2-Methylglutaric acid is known for its role in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in various chemical reactions. It can also be involved in metabolic pathways, particularly in the context of certain metabolic disorders. The compound exhibits typical acid properties, such as the ability to donate protons in solution, and can participate in esterification and other reactions characteristic of carboxylic acids. Its derivatives may have applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and polymer production.
