Methyl 3-Oxoheptanoate is a synthetic compound with anti-cancer properties. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of neuroblastomas and other cancer cells. Methyl 3-Oxoheptanoate is a fluorescent compound that can be used as an affinity label in immunohistochemistry experiments. This molecule has also been shown to have an affinity for the atrial natriuretic peptide receptor, which may be responsible for its fibrillation inhibition activity. Methyl 3-Oxoheptanoate is synthesized by irradiation of a mixture of methyl octanoate and hexanal with UV light in the presence of oxygen.
Methyl 3-Oxoheptanoate was first reported by Friedel and Crafts in 1877, although this reaction is not catalyzed by methyl 3-oxoheptanoate itself.
