(3R)-3-Methylhexanedioic acid

Description:
(3R)-3-Methylhexanedioic acid, also known as 3-methylglutaric acid, is a dicarboxylic acid characterized by the presence of two carboxyl (-COOH) functional groups and a methyl group attached to the third carbon of a hexane chain. This compound is a chiral molecule, with the (3R) designation indicating the specific configuration of the chiral center at the third carbon. It typically appears as a white crystalline solid and is soluble in water due to its polar carboxylic acid groups. The presence of the methyl group contributes to its unique properties, including its potential role in metabolic pathways and its relevance in organic synthesis. (3R)-3-Methylhexanedioic acid can be used in various applications, including the production of biodegradable polymers and as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals. Its structural features also make it a subject of interest in studies related to metabolic disorders, particularly those involving amino acid metabolism.
