2-Hydroxyisobutyric acid Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties	white to off-white needle-like crystals or
Uses	2-Hydroxyisobutyric acid is used as background electrolyte for separation and detection of the metal ions by on-line cyclic voltammetry.
Uses	2-Hydroxyisobutyric acid is used as an electrolyte in the separation of the metal ions by on-line cyclic voltammetry. It is also used as a building block for the synthesis of polymers. Its conjugate base, 2-hydroxybutyrate is utilized to catabolize L-threonine as well as synthesize glutathione. Further, it is used as an indicator for the early detection insulin resistance in non-diabetic subjects.
Uses	α-Hydroxyisobutyric acid was used as background electrolyte for separation and detection of the metal ions by on-line cyclic voltammetry.
Definition	ChEBI: A 2-hydroxy monocarboxylic acid that is isobutyric acid bearing a hydroxy substituent at position 2. It is a metabolite of methyl tertiary-butyl ether.
Synthesis Reference(s)	The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 23, p. 1488, 1958 DOI: 10.1021/jo01104a022
General Description	α-Hydroxyisobutyric acid (2-hydroxyisobutyric acid) is the building block for polymer synthesis. It forms complexes with Eu(III) and has been studied by time resolved fluorescence spectroscopy.
