2-Ethyl-2-methylsuccinic acid

Description:

2-Ethyl-2-methylsuccinic acid, with the CAS number 631-31-2, is a branched-chain dicarboxylic acid characterized by its two carboxyl functional groups (-COOH) and a complex carbon skeleton. This compound features a five-carbon chain with ethyl and methyl substituents at the second carbon position, contributing to its unique structural properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow solid at room temperature and is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, owing to the presence of its carboxylic acid groups. The presence of these functional groups also imparts acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and neutralization. 2-Ethyl-2-methylsuccinic acid is used in organic synthesis and can serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other specialty chemicals. Its physical and chemical properties, such as melting point and boiling point, can vary based on purity and environmental conditions, making it essential to refer to specific data sheets for detailed information.

Ethosuximide impurity A

CAS: 631-31-2

Ethosuximide impurity A is a fluorinated compound that inhibits the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. It has been shown to inhibit the catalytic mechanism of acetylcholinesterase, which leads to its inhibitory effect on the enzyme. The compound does not have any structural similarity to the other known inhibitors of this enzyme. Ethosuximide impurity A has been shown to be an antimutagen and anticarcinogen in vitro, with a postulated mechanism of action that involves inhibition of a water molecule from binding to the active site.
