Product Information

• Name: Spiro[3.3]heptane-2,6-dicarboxylic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Spiro[3.3]heptane-2,6-dicarboxylic acid is an isomeric form of glutamic acid that has a diastereomeric relationship with glutamic acid. It is used as a building block in organic synthesis, and it can be used to synthesize lactams, which are heterocyclic compounds that have the skeleton of a cyclic amide. Spiro[3.3]heptane-2,6-dicarboxylic acid also has an acidic nature and can be hydrolyzed under acidic conditions to produce hydrogen chloride gas. The molecule has been shown to undergo nucleophilic attack by chloride ions, forming a chloroformate ester intermediate. The stereochemistry of spiro[3.3]heptane-2,6-dicarboxylic acid is enantiopure because there are two chiral centers on the ring system.
