2-Ketobutyric Acid Introduction

2-Ketobutyric acid， Also known as 2-oxobutyric acid or alpha ketobutyric acid, it is a white to off white crystalline powder at room temperature. It is a short chain alpha ketoacid, a key intermediate in the isoleucine fermentation metabolic pathway, and also a degradation product of threonine. Has a special caramel aroma. Belonging to organic acid derivatives, it can be used as an intermediate in organic synthesis for the preparation of ketone ester derivatives, and has certain applications in basic research of organic chemistry. In addition, this substance is also a food additive allowed to be used according to national regulations, and can be used in the processing and production of food essence.

Specifications

Application area

• It is an intermediate for synthesizing antiepileptic drugs such as levetiracetam, which can be used to prepare chiral 2-aminobutyric acid;
• Naturally present in protein hydrolysates, it has caramel and cream aromas and can serve as a food additive and flavoring agent;
• Used for preparing skincare and cleaning products;
• 2-Ketobutyric acid can inhibit the growth of Aspergillus flavus and can therefore be used to prepare anti Aspergillus drugs or mold inhibitors;
• It is also a biochemical research tool used as an analytical standard for cell metabolite detection (HPLC fluorescence method), trace analysis in drinking water, etc.
