potassium 4-methyl-2-oxovalerate

Description:
Potassium 4-methyl-2-oxovalerate, with the CAS number 93778-31-5, is a chemical compound that belongs to the category of salts derived from the reaction of 4-methyl-2-oxovaleric acid with potassium. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in water, which is a characteristic feature of many potassium salts. It is often used in biochemical and pharmaceutical applications due to its potential role as a metabolic intermediate or a reagent in organic synthesis. The presence of the 4-methyl group and the oxo functional group contributes to its reactivity and interaction with biological systems. As with many chemical substances, safety precautions should be observed when handling potassium 4-methyl-2-oxovalerate, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled. Its specific applications and effects can vary, depending on the context of use in research or industry.
