Pentanedioic acid, 2-oxo-, potassium salt (1:1)

Description:

Pentanedioic acid, 2-oxo-, potassium salt (1:1), commonly known as potassium 2-oxopentanedioate, is a chemical compound characterized by its salt formation from pentanedioic acid (also known as glutaric acid) and potassium. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in water, which is a common trait for many salts. It features a dicarboxylic acid structure, with two carboxyl groups (-COOH) and a ketone group (C=O) at the second carbon position, contributing to its reactivity and potential applications in various chemical processes. The presence of potassium ions enhances its solubility and stability in aqueous solutions. This compound is often utilized in biochemical applications, including as a buffering agent or in metabolic studies, due to its role in various biochemical pathways. Additionally, it may serve as a precursor in organic synthesis and has potential uses in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with any chemical substance.
