Beschreibung

Methyl 6-hydroxyhexanoate is a reaction intermediate in the synthesis of glycol ethers and polycarboxylic acids. It is also used as a precursor for monoclonal antibodies for cancer therapy. Methyl 6-hydroxyhexanoate reacts with metal ions to form hydrogen bonds, which are important in the stabilization of the covalent bond between the two compounds. This reaction is catalyzed by an enzyme called lipase. The rate of this reaction is increased by adding glycosidation, which increases the number of hydrogen bonding sites on the compound. Methyl 6-hydoxyhexanoate can also be produced from methyl hydroxy and glycol ethers through a reaction that involves metal ion, glycosidation, and a lipase. The antigenicity of methyl 6-hydroxyhexanoate can be altered by changing its carboxyl group to a benzyl group.
