Product Information
Name:3-Hydroxy-2-butanone
Brand:Biosynth
Description:3-Hydroxy-2-butanone is a reactive, fatty acid with the chemical formula CH3(CH2)4COH. It is a methyl ketone and an important intermediate in the synthesis of other organic compounds. 3-Hydroxy-2-butanone can be produced by corynebacterium glutamicum through the addition of air to a mixture of 2-butanol and malonic acid. This compound has inhibitory properties against wild type strains of corynebacterium glutamicum and caproic acid production by tissue culture cells. The mechanism for this inhibition is not yet known, but it may be due to its ability to alter the biochemical properties of corynebacterium glutamicum.
