Common Name | 2-Hydroxy-2-methylbutyric acid |
---|
Description | 2-Hydroxy-2-methylbutyric acid, also known as (+/-)-2-hydroxy-2-methylbutanoate or 2-methyl-2-hydroxybutyric acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hydroxy fatty acids. These are fatty acids in which the chain bears a hydroxyl group. 2-Hydroxy-2-methylbutyric acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. |
