Beschreibung

Ethyl 2-oxobutanoate is an organic compound that is structurally related to benzoic acid. It is a member of the class of compounds known as esters, which are derived from carboxylic acids and alcohols. Ethyl 2-oxobutanoate has been shown to inhibit the growth of certain hyperproliferative cells in culture, such as those associated with leukemia and melanoma. This inhibition appears to be due to its ability to bind at high concentrations with all-trans-retinoic acid, which is a natural retinoid that regulates cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. The ethyl group in ethyl 2-oxobutanoate can also serve as a leaving group in bond cleavage reactions, allowing for synthetically controlled synthesis of amides.
