Beschreibung

2,3-Butanediol is a glycol that is produced by the fermentation of sugars or carbohydrates. It is used in the synthesis of acetoin, which is an important flavor compound in various foods and beverages. The production of 2,3-butanediol from glucose was achieved through the use of a novel asymmetric synthesis reaction with inorganic acid as catalyst. 2,3-Butanediol can also be synthesized from adipic acid using aerobacter aerogenes as catalyst. This process has been shown to be efficient with wild-type strains and provides high yields under mild conditions.
2,3-Butanediol has been shown to have antibiotic activity against tetracycline resistant bacteria and may inhibit bacterial growth by binding to DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV enzymes. The hydroxyl group on the molecule makes it more reactive than other glycols because it can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules.
