(1alpha,2alpha,4alpha)-1,2,4-Cyclohexanetricarboxylic acid

Description:
(1alpha,2alpha,4alpha)-1,2,4-Cyclohexanetricarboxylic acid, also known as citric acid's structural analog, is a cyclic tricarboxylic acid characterized by its three carboxylic acid functional groups attached to a cyclohexane ring. This compound is typically a white crystalline solid at room temperature and is soluble in water due to the presence of multiple polar carboxylic acid groups, which facilitate hydrogen bonding. Its molecular structure contributes to its potential applications in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and organic synthesis. The compound may exhibit properties such as acidity, reactivity with bases, and the ability to form esters or salts. Additionally, its stereochemistry, indicated by the alpha designations, suggests specific spatial arrangements of its substituents, which can influence its chemical behavior and interactions. As a tricarboxylic acid, it may also play a role in biochemical pathways, similar to other carboxylic acids, although its specific biological functions would require further investigation.
