Product Information

• Name: (S)-(-)-2-Methoxypropionic acid
• Synonyms: (2S)-2-Methoxy-propanoic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: (S)-(-)-2-Methoxypropionic acid is a chemical compound that has been synthesized by coupling the deuterium to the methyl group of isoleucine. The synthesis of this compound can be done in enantiopure form, although it is not possible to label the product with deuterium. When synthesizing this compound, it was found that yield is increased when the reaction was carried out at higher temperatures. This family of compounds includes (S)-(+)-2-methoxypropionic acid and (R)-(-)-2-methoxypropionic acid. Streptomycetaceae are a genus of bacteria that produce (S)-(+)-2-methoxypropionic acid as a metabolic intermediate for their growth. It has been found that strains of Streptomyces coelicolor produce diastereotopic pairs of stereoisomers, which include (+) and (-) 2-methoxypropion
