Description

3-Methyl-2-oxobutanoic acid is a precursor of pantothenic acid in Escherichia coli.


Solid|Pale yellow liquid; fruity aroma


3-methyl-2-oxobutanoic acid is a 2-oxo monocarboxylic acid that is the 2-oxo derivative of isovaleric acid. It has a role as a human metabolite and a Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite. It derives from a butyric acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate. It is a tautomer of a 2-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-butenoic acid.
