Product Information

• Name: (S)-(+)-3-Methyl-1-pentanol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: (S)-(+)-3-Methyl-1-pentanol is a branched-chain, β-unsaturated aldehyde that is produced by the elimination of two molecules of water from (R)-(+)-3-methylbutanal. It is an organocatalytic substrate for the family of enzymes that catalyze the first step in the biosynthetic pathway to abiotic long-chain alcohols. The product is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of escherichia coli and other bacteria. The enzyme involved in this reaction is initially activated by acetate and then inhibited by NADH. In nature, this compound can be found as a natural product or as a metabolic intermediate.
