3-METHYLBUTYRIC ACID-1-13C

Description:
3-Methylbutyric acid-1-13C is a stable isotope-labeled derivative of 3-methylbutyric acid, which is a branched-chain carboxylic acid. The presence of the carbon-13 isotope (13C) indicates that one of the carbon atoms in the molecule is a heavier isotope, which is often used in various analytical techniques, including nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, to trace metabolic pathways or study chemical reactions. This compound typically exhibits characteristics common to carboxylic acids, such as a sour taste and the ability to form hydrogen bonds, which contribute to its solubility in water. It has a molecular formula that reflects its branched structure, and its physical properties, such as boiling point and melting point, are influenced by the presence of the carboxylic acid functional group. 3-Methylbutyric acid is also known for its role in various biochemical processes and can be found in certain natural products. As with all chemical substances, safety precautions should be taken when handling it in a laboratory setting.
