Description

2-Hydroxy-3-methylbutanoic acid is a close structure analogue of GHB, which is a naturally occurring neurotransmitter and a psychoactive drug.


Solid


2-hydroxy-3-methylbutyric acid is a valine derivative that is valine in which the amino group has been replaced by a hydroxy group. It has a role as a human metabolite. It derives from an isovaleric acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 2-hydroxy-3-methylbutyrate.


White Solid


Chiral resolution of 2-hydroxy-3-methylbutyric acid without derivatization has been studied by capillary electrophoresis using 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin.
