Description

2-Cyclopentylideneacetic acid is a growth factor that is structurally similar to epidermal growth factor (EGF) and has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on the EGF receptor. It is used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, such as antidiabetic agents, and cosmetics. 2-Cyclopentylideneacetic acid is also used as a synthetic intermediate in the manufacture of other drugs, such as peptide hormones. The two possible tautomers of 2-cyclopentylideneacetic acid are alpha-cyclohexenylacetic acid and beta-cyclohexenylacetic acid. The most stable form of these tautomers is alpha-cyclohexenylacetic acid. 2-Cyclopentylideneacetic acid can be used in the synthesis of epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine.
