Descripción

Methyl 2-methyl-3-oxobutanoate (MMOB) is a chemical compound that is the ester of methyl butanoate and methanol. MMOB can be prepared by allylation of molybdenum, forming a Grignard reagent. This reaction produces an enolate, which reacts with the diastereomer to form the product. The stereochemical sequence for this reaction is anti. The optical rotation for MMOB can be either dextrorotatory or levorotatory, depending on the configuration of the product's chiral center.
Methyl 2-methyl-3-oxobutanoate has been used as an attractant in insect studies and as a precursor to nonactin, a herbicide that inhibits plant growth by interfering with photosynthesis.
